What kind of company is Omnidocs?
We recognize that in different phases of life, you need different kinds of flexibility, and we are happy to provide that.
It could be that you prefer to work from home once or twice a week or occasionally need to leave early for a soccer tournament, a parents’ meeting, or a romantic date.
We find small talk between co-workers valuable, so your lunch break is part of your working hours, and we invest in quality coffee beans for the cozy and useful interactions across teams by the coffee machine.
It may sound like little things, but the overall message is that we want you to meet trust, kindness, and helpfulness at work because we expect that this is what you bring as well.
The purpose of our company is just as internal as it is externally communicated: We make every workday work better.
We also love to connect. We do social activities such as LAN parties, board game afternoons, and Friday Cafes.
Our office is located in the heart of the historic neighborhood of Christianshavn, surrounded by canals and great little cafés and restaurants.
We have plenty of light and air while being close to everything – including the metro, the canals, and the city center.
