# Start Here

> Our slogan says: "**We are just starting"** because we always strive for more. To achieve more and stay efficient we determine to **stay flat** - we chose to iron the hierarchy, not brains. This way we want to make **communication**, **collaboration**, and simplify **decision-making**  so that a person who can make ANY decision is a ping away. 
>
> We expect everyone on the Engineering team to **help each other**, because otherwise you are not cool\@all and we don't force you to talk, just to **share.** Doing so, we appreciate our engineers and colleagues being direct and opinionated and love to be beaten by a great argument. Therefore we **expect** and **reward** your **impact.**
>
> We want every single person to be free to **try, test, and learn** from ideas and actions because every bit of knowledge clears the mind of assumptions that generate waste.
>
> Our guiding principle is **meritocracy**, and certainly not mediocrity - we cannot **lead the CPaaS industry** by being average. We aim for Excellence **by choice**!
>
> We like to think that without us the world would miss the way we challenge the communication industry.
>
> Naive, right?
>
> Welcome to Infobip and enjoy reading our Engineering Handbook.
