Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that we don’t have to face everything alone. Our blog post, "Don’t go it alone: The strength in asking for help at work", explores how reaching out can boost both wellbeing and teamwork.

The next day we had a great visit at the client’s office 🚆💻🧅✨ #totalonion #insidetotalonion #paris #teamwork #quicktrip…

Our devs get 1 or 2 days each month to dive into personal projects, learning, or just exploring new ideas. It’s an amazing chance to step away from day-to-day tasks, boost skills, and have some fun.
