Flexibility — It’s hard to squeeze creativity into a 9-to-5 time slot. Recognising our diverse scheduling needs, BB champions flexibility. As long as it doesn’t hamper the project or team, everyone has the freedom to give form to their own work process.</li>
<li>
Our hubs — We have put a lot of effort into designing spaces that are more than offices; they’re creatively designed hubs for multiple activities. They’re where we brainstorm, enjoy meals, hold discussions, build installations, host events and organise all types of parties.</li>
<li>
Family support — For the parents at BB, we have created our own “baby kit”, including a €2000 bonus, setting you up for a head start on your new parental adventures.</li>
<li>
Keep it healthy — We’ve got your back with an extensive support package that includes health insurance, sponsored therapy sessions, access to various treatments and more.</li>
<li>
Conferences and courses — You'll get a yearly budget to stay inspired and learn new things</li>
