It’s the enemy you fight just before the real boss. At least in games. At Carmine it means that you are an emplyee with much more freedom than in most other companies. You get paid based on your current billing rate and you get to pick your own benifits such as how mant days of vacation you want to have, what devices you want to use and so on.

What we do is take care of everything else like helping you find work, administration, and mentoring. Our model is all about transparency and flexibility.

Each consultant gets paid based on their hourly rate. That goes into a pot that each employee can teak as they see fit. Want to put more money into your pension? Get a massage once a week? Have 30 days of vacation? The choice is yours.

Another thing that we think is important is that it is ok to quit. We’ve all had the experience of the stigma that comes with quitting. That is something we want to avoid and instead end on good terms and help our colleagues however we can.
