Where a good culture is a quintessential part of any team’s long term success, a bad one is detrimental to it. Yet not all teams thrive in exactly the same culture – cultural elements that empower different teams are context-dependent and ought to be carefully harnessed and applied. At the core of a fruitful engineering culture, we find values like autonomy, transparency and mission-orientedness. What are some of the ways in which such values and practises can be ingrained into an organization? Mike Curtis has led engineering teams at Yahoo, Facebook and Airbnb. Taking the stage with Wolt’s VP of engineering Niilo Säämänen, he will be sharing his best practises on empowering engineering teams.
