🗓️ Working Days
Our regular workweek is Monday to Friday.
We give our team members at least 2 days per week for rest and recreation.
🕰️ Flexible Work Hours
At Symph, we understand that everyone has their own optimal working rhythm. That's why Symphers can start their workday at any time, as long as they complete the full 8 hours. However, project managers and team members may agree on specific working arrangements, such as a daily 1 PM check-in meeting, to ensure smooth collaboration.
⚠️ Exception: Urgent Tasks and Deadlines
In rare cases, critical bugs, urgent client requests, or tight project deadlines may require Symphers to work during weekends or holidays. As our clients rely on us for their business operations, we may need to go the extra mile to ensure their success. However, these situations are the exception, not the norm.
⏳How we measure work
We quantify our work according to what we call “blocks”. A typical workday which runs for 8 hours is composed of 3 blocks:
3-hour block (ex: 9AM -12PM) 3-hour block (ex: 1PM - 4PM) 2-hour block (ex: 5PM - 7PM)
Here are the activities that are covered by 3-hour blocks and 2-hour blocks:
3-hour blocks 🧑💻
Client meetings (including sprint demos and project standups) Design/development tasks (Deep work) 2-hour blocks 🎉
learning (personal reading, taking online courses, group learning sessions) helping with other projects/sales
Full-time Symphers are required to render two 3-hour blocks daily and submit their corresponding accomplishments for every 3-hour block.
