At ClickHouse, we believe that Culture is above all being shaped and nurtured by our colleagues. It’s the way that we interact, work with each other, communicate and help each other learn along the way. Instead of stating what we think our culture should be in principle, we prefer to share our team members’ views and direct experiences of what it’s really like to work at ClickHouse: positives and challenges included. The company values honesty among its colleagues, which is seen as a key aspect of their culture. This allows for the diversity of thought that comes with sharing honest views, which is precious to them. Most employees are distributed across the world, allowing for flexible work arrangements. Niek Lok, a Commercial Account Executive- EMEA, shares his experiences and values, including working in a team that is supportive, compassionate, and caring. He also mentions his passion for personal development, nature, and volunteering to help combat loneliness and depression among younger people.
