Experience a culture like no other at Mendix

A culture where we’re focused on results – not “boxes” and “rules”, in a relaxed environment with the coolest office in the Netherlands + great view of the Erasmusbrug.

Where people take ownership and enjoy as much freedom as possible. This means there’s as little process as we can get away with, because we don't want to get in your way. We also strive to stay as flat as possible. Do you have an issue? Walk right into our CTO's office and bring it up.

Where everyone is appreciated for their skills and ideas, regardless of background or mother tongue, the flexibility to take care of a family, or to have a crazy hobby

Monthly crafting days that allow you to explore side projects or try out cool new technologies and share our experiences with the rest of the organization.

We value the start-up culture that has brought us so much success. We are a tech company, not a project-oriented organization.
