Culture & Values

Schuberg Philis is defined by a people-focused culture that prioritizes expertise, teamwork, and openness. We are convinced that outstanding customer service starts with strong, empowered, and happy teams—through every project phase and long-term partnership. Hierarchy is kept to a minimum and bureaucracy is replaced with peer-driven decision making. Our expert teams are autonomous, taking true end-to-end responsibility for delivery and support, and aligned by shared ownership and trust, rather than top-down direction.

As a company of engineers, our DNA combines practical problem solving, high integrity, technological creativity, and the humility to learn and teach every day. The technical bar is set high, but so is our commitment to coaching, knowledge exchange, and “the best idea wins” regardless of role. Diverse thinking is celebrated, and building robust, elegant, and sustainable systems is a source of pride.

Organizational Model

The heart of Schuberg Philis are our Greater Customer Teams (GCTs), which combine the entrepreneurial focus, intimacy, and commitment of a small business with the scale and resources of a top-tier consultancy. Each GCT is built around autonomous, multidisciplinary customer teams that oversee every step of the customer journey: sales, architecture, delivery, and service. Across the company, strategic circles ensure cross-team learning, alignment, and the sharing of technical best practices in areas like technology, business development, and innovation.

Performance and progress are reinforced by continuous peer coaching, honest appraisal, blameless post-mortems, and participative decision making. This model lets us grow while keeping teams connected, nimble, and personally invested in customer outcomes. We believe in learning by doing—our engineers are empowered to experiment with new technologies, share discoveries company-wide, and participate in communities of practice as both teachers and students.
