What we believe in

At Oh BiBi, we are continually adjusting our values and always striving to improve them, just like we do with our games!

HARD-WORKING: we don't settle for the minimum, we aim for the best. This does not mean working overtime at all costs! On the other hand, it is essential to be focused and productive when we are at work.

SMART: we are willing to learn every day; when we can, we automate routine tasks to deploy our creativity and intelligence where they have an impact.

HUMBLE: we know we're not perfect and things won't always go as planned. So when we make a mistake, we talk about it and we learn from our mistakes.

COLLABORATIVE: helping others is a priority, even when it's not immediately tied to the goals you're trying to achieve. Likewise, you can rely on others for help and advice.
