Wonder Handbook

Open-sourcing company culture!

This handbook was originally intended to make Wonder more attractive to talent during the scaling phase. Eventually, it turned into a company-wide playbook for employees when more and more candidates started evangelizing it into the organisation mentioning it as their No. 1 reason why they got interested in Wonder.

It transformed the entire organisation to be outwardly open and transparent about their culture.

I see the biggest success in establishing the open-source mindset into people outside of code into the entire value spectrum of an organisation. People stopped thinking about how to attract candidates and rather how can I as an individual create actionable value for myself, my colleagues and my future colleagues on a daily basis. One good example is the working group around running effective meetings, which got Wonder a lot of attention from other companies making use.
