Leroy Merlin Engineering Values

We are building technology company-platform.

What`s inside

Topics based on interviews with the development teams. 3 logical sections explaining “how it is accepted here”, basic principles are used by teams for software development. Each paragraph contains physical practics and anti-pattern, explaining bad behavior.

Why whe need this

As you may know, engineering culture is present in every company, but not every company describes it in the written form. The development of IT products is a complex process, with no possibility to create instructions for all occasions. Therefore, IT companies бbuilding relationships on trust, resort to the practice of describing engineering values. This helps to act in a consistent manner and, as a result, to develop reliable software faster. It also speeds up the onboarding of new hires and protects the common-sense position.

Engineering culture is our competitive advantage in the market.
