About Schuberg Philis

Starting Schuberg Philis was an act of resistance. It was bravely waving goodbye to traditional IT companies. Many are so large that they feel anonymous, hierarchical, and cost-centered rather than simply committed to achieving 100% impact. This way of working didn’t make our founders nor their customers happy.

So they asked themselves: how would it be to start doing work the way we actually want to do it? To enable talented professionals to flourish and eliminate anything else that could get in the way of performing at their best? To this day, Schuberg Philis is a continuously unfolding answer to that question.

In hindsight, this may seem like an interesting business idea. In reality, it’s the recognition of a human need ignored all too often: to master your own destiny.

Unlocking that need was something we envisioned could lead to job satisfaction and professional fulfillment. This proved true. Schuberg Philis was built the way we actually wanted to work. Along the way, we actually also made ourselves and our customers a whole lot happier.

Actually

This is a word we keep an ear out for. “Actually” often signals that something could be better or truer. For example: “Well, actually, when you look at it from that angle…” So when we hear the word, we let it be a reminder to work the way we want to on projects that make us proud and happy. After all, our company started with its founders asking themselves: “What if we started doing things how we actually want to?”

Become who you are

We urge our colleagues to become who they truly are. We encourage each other to discover where our true strengths lie, what we still want to learn, and which activities do or don’t suit us. In this process, some of us end up going in a radically different direction than expected. Still, we often become happier people along the way.

Meaningful contributions to society

Our work closely connects us to mission-critical processes in organizations that have high and wide impact on society. This means that, directly or indirectly, we also have some influence on society and developments in the world. We realize we have choices about how we use our skills and talent, for whom, and towards which causes. And we always try to make the right choice.
