How we work at Staticus

Culture isn't what you say. It's what you do on a Tuesday.

We design and deliver complex and sustainable façades across Europe. The technical demands are high, the projects are long, and the margins for error are small. At that level, culture determines everything – how decisions get made, how problems get solved, and what clients and partners can expect from us.

Culture is only real when it shows up in the room

Culture is what determines how we act when things get hard. How we treat a client when a project runs into trouble. How we speak to a partner when the answer isn’t what they want to hear. We don’t always get it right. But we wanted to be specific about what we’re aiming for — and hold ourselves accountable to it.

So we started from scratch. Months of workshops. Uncomfortable conversations. Real disagreement about what we actually stand for — not what sounds good.

Along the way, a workshop with Erin Meyer — author of The Culture Map — helped point us in the right direction. The result: four behaviours — Extreme Ownership, Never Settle, Cut the Noise, No Brilliant Jerks — specific enough to be useful, honest enough to be uncomfortable.

This is how we expect each other to act on it.

These aren't aspirations. They're the standard. Every hire, every performance conversation, every decision we make as an organisation runs through these four things.

Extreme Ownership

We take decisions best for our organisation, not for personal gain. We don’t abuse freedom. We speak up and act without being called out.

If it’s broken, we fix it. If it’s unclear, we clarify it. We don’t wait to be told, and we don’t hide behind job descriptions.

"If it's broken, I fix it. If it's unclear, I clarify it. No personal gain."
Never Settle

Good enough is not good enough. Curiosity fuels our ambition to level up. The work we do has our signature on it — so we don’t deliver crap.

Every day we look to improve: sharing feedback, learning from experience, applying in practice what we know in theory

"We improve every day. Good enough isn't."
Cut the Noise

We use no excuses to deliver what’s promised. We say things as they are, when they are. We don’t do comfort zones — we do progress.

That means being well-prepared, communicating facts rather than assumptions, and staying focused on what actually matters.

"Focus on what matters. Put the fish on the table. Keep it clear. Keep it useful. Provide feedback."
No Brilliant Jerks

We win and lose as a team. We don’t pick sides. We work at round tables. We can disagree and commit, instead of settling for no solution.

Strong performance never comes at the expense of others. Talent is nothing without trust.

"Talent is nothing without trust. You're not winning if the team loses."

Words are easy. 
We let the team show you.

These aren't case studies or success stories chosen for PR. They're real situations, told by the people who were in them.

Staticus is not for everyone.

You'll thrive here if…

You'd rather fix a problem than explain why it isn't your job. You find genuine satisfaction in work you're proud of. You can hear direct feedback and use it. You care about the team's result more than your own comfort. You ask questions without waiting to be invited to.

This probably isn't for you if…

You prefer clear hierarchy and defined lanes. You find candid feedback uncomfortable. You're energised by individual recognition more than collective outcomes. You need process and approval to feel secure. There's no judgement in that — it's just a different kind of place.
