Our Culture
We challenge everything
We sometimes take risks and challenge our way of thinking and working - to accomplish new and exciting things.
We figure it out
Nothing at Amuse is someone else’s problem. We take ownership, and when we see something that needs to get done, we try to solve it ourselves or with colleagues. We don’t give up when faced with difficulties - but climb out of our comfort zone and adapt. We thrive in a creative, friendly, and fast-paced environment and never say ‘it can’t be done”.
We listen and learn
At Amuse, we listen to music, but more importantly, we listen to feedback from customers and colleagues. We ask questions and take an interest in ideas and different points of view. Together, we build bridges and break down silos. We show genuine interest in the industry we work in, the industries that impact our business, and our own company.
