Sun's out, fun's out - summary of June

#1 You don’t have to try to succeed (or do you?)

The editorial team is either reviewing whether there are mistakes in their newest publication or simply proudly posing with the result of their hard work. Well, Ladies, it's a bit late for proofreading, so let's hope it's the latter ;) #newspaper #internalnewspapper #funoffice #funworkplace #officelife #polishgirl #PRteam #coworkers #office #tabloid #journalism #softwarhouse #webdev #webdeveloper #poznan #merixstudio

With June came the 4th edition of our internal newspaper and one one of our most devoted readers, Kamil, said that it’s the best one yet! It turns out that you can succeed even if you do your proof-reading after the paper is published. ;) This month we focused on fashion, drama, and crime in our office - the normal, day-to-day stuff. There already are ideas for the next issue, so stay tuned, Merixstudio employees!

#2 The grass is always greener in other conference rooms

Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH pillows? We don't think so;) #newoffice #funoffice #grass #fakegrass #interiordesign #conferenceroom #funatwork #summervibe #chilloffice #webdev #webdeveloper #softwarehouse #poznan #merixstudio

Last month we might’ve made a lot of exciting adjustments to our new office (hello, an arcade game in the workplace?!?), but it does not mean that we’re done with beautifying it. This time our hearts skipped a bit when we were finally able to open a rather special conference room, which is filled with amphitheatre-like sittings, (obviously orange) cushions, and a fake (but surprisingly realistic) grass as the carpet. It was instantly obvious that the idea was worth a wait - people suddenly were more eager to attend meetings ;)

#3 Gotham needs us!

This #GeekShirtFriday is sponsored by Wayne Enterprises and their hidden superhero!🙈 #workinghard #batman #dccomic #geek #hiddenbatman #meeting #brucewayne #webdev #softwarehouse #poznan #merixstudio

Remember when I’ve said that we’re starting to show our faces in the #GeekShirtFriday series? Well, it appears that life writes its own stories. This month I was sitting behind my desk, turned around and there it was - the perfect photo of Batman at work. The rumor has it that he is not only a good CEO of Wayne Enterprises but also a COO of Merixstudio. But don’t tell anyone - it’s a secret!

#4 Who run the world? Girls!

We received more photos from the last Saturday, when @kusiciel (as true Team Leader) help new developers learn Django. Judging by the happy faces and his stories, the workshop was a success! :) #djangogirls #success #poznan #workshop #djangogirlspoznan #djangoframework #teacher #teaching #programming #workshopforwomen #girlspower #learning #weekend #saturday #codelikeagirl

In Merixstudio we believe in the equality of sexes (hello, shameless plug to my own article!). That’s why it was a no-brainer to be a sponsor of the Django Girls workshop! Our Django-master, Miłosz, even dedicated his Saturday and spent a day teaching his craft to the eager students. And by knowing his skills and seeing how happy his team looks in this photo, we’re more than sure that he did a good job ;)

#5 Prepare to be tested!

Our #QAteam is having a day like no other! And it's all thanks to Marek, who organised a Test Day, during which the whole team tests the same website. The main goals are to advance their development as the group, find more bugs, and see the project from various points of view. On the other hand, there will be a winner​, so... ;) #competiton #qualityassurance #funatwork #QA #working #work #tester #teameffort #softwarhouse #webdev #webdeveloper #poznan #merixstudio

Our QA Team may always be on the lookout for some mistakes and bugs, but that’s their job, so we don’t mind. This month, however, they took things to the next level and made a nitpicking competition! The Test Day was organized by Marek, who gathered the whole team to work on the same website individually. The goal was to advance everyone’s skills and make sure that there’s no bug left on the website. Luckily they are this dedicated to pettifogging only in their professional life ;)

#6 What did we do to deserve dogs?

Last Friday, as many of you know, was not the busiest of days. Since Thursday was a holiday, a lot of us decided to not come to work and have a four-day weekend. Turns out that it was an ideal opportunity for a bit of corporate espionage! #spy #pug #pugsofinstagrm #budynthepug #pugspy #funny #funnyanimals #officedog #officepuppy #funnypug #officelife #officefun #webdev #softwarehouse #poznan

You know what’s the best? Dogs are the best! This month we were blessed twice with the visit of Budyń and Mila. As you can see, they feel really at home in our office, which doesn't surprise us at all. While Budyń was dedicated to his secret schemes and minded his own business, Mila wanted only to play fetch with us. Oh, to have even a half of their energy… ;)

#7 Everything is better with pizza

Time to summarise the project. But first, pizza! 🍕 😍 #teameffort #meeting #friday #friyay #pizza #pizzatime #tasty #food #lovemyjob #officefun #officelife #office #webdevelopment #design #softwarehouse #poznan #merixstudio

When the project is finished, the team gathers to talk through the highs, the lows, and obstacles they encountered during the whole process. The vibe is of course rather celebratory during those meetings - people are happy that they were able to cross the finish line and deliver the final product. But why not take it up a notch? And that's why we order pizza - as you can see people are rather eager to meet when there’s food involved! ;)

Liked what you just saw? Well, you can join us - we are looking for Django and Front End Developers!
