• You don’t like continuously receiving honest candid feedback
• You prefer to do your own thing rather than work with a team

• Grow your whole self: Our leaders are more like coaches and one of our main objectives is to give 5 years’ worth of learning and development for every 1 year with us. You have a coach, mentor, well‑being therapist and a development‑oriented environment: That’s literally what our vision is all about and the primary reason Laminar exists.
• Be surrounded by the best: We only hire and retain the very best people. You might be used to being the smartest in the room but that won’t be the case in Laminar. You will be surrounded by people you can learn from. We are 100% meritocratic so fast progression is the norm. You will be supported to excel in whichever areas you are most interested in!
