Inside Lasting Dynamics: Our Culture, Values & Way of Working
Lasting Dynamics, founded by Michele Cimmino in 2013, is a remote-first software company with team members across 10+ countries. Here's what defines our culture.
Our Values
Excellence
We aim for the highest quality in every line of code, every design decision, and every client interaction. Our 5.0/5.0 Clutch rating reflects this commitment.
Transparency
Open communication with clients, partners, and team members. No hidden agendas — just honest progress updates and clear expectations.
Innovation
We invest in emerging technologies — AI/ML, Flutter, cloud-native architectures — and encourage our team to explore and learn continuously.
People First
Our team is our greatest asset. We invest in growth through the LD Academy, flexible work arrangements, and career development paths.
Remote-First Culture
Lasting Dynamics was remote-first before it was mainstream. Our distributed team spans 10+ countries across multiple time zones.
Work from Anywhere
Team members work from Spain, Italy, Norway, North Macedonia, Nepal, and beyond. We hire talent, not locations.
Flexible Hours
Core overlap hours ensure collaboration; the rest is flexible. We trust our team to manage their time effectively.
Tools & Process
Slack, Jira, GitHub, Notion — our toolstack ensures seamless async and sync collaboration across all time zones.
Work-Life Balance
Sustainable pace is non-negotiable. We believe long-term productivity comes from balanced, healthy working habits.
Agile Methodology
Every project at Lasting Dynamics follows Agile/Scrum with 2-week sprints, daily standups, and continuous delivery.
2-Week Sprints
Clear sprint goals, planning, and retrospectives ensure steady, predictable progress on every project.
CI/CD Pipeline
Automated testing, code review, and continuous deployment. Every merge request goes through rigorous quality checks.
Data-Driven
We track velocity, burndown, and quality metrics to continuously improve our delivery process and team performance.
Areas We're Improving
We believe transparency about our challenges builds trust. Here's what we're actively working on.
Scaling Management Processes
As we've grown from a small team to 30+ members, some management processes have needed to evolve. We've invested in team lead training, clearer career paths, and improved feedback loops to address this.
Workload Distribution
Some reviews on third-party platforms mention concerns about overtime. We've responded by implementing workload monitoring, adding buffer capacity to project plans, and enforcing sustainable pace as a core value.
Internal Knowledge Sharing
With a distributed team, knowledge silos can form. We've launched internal tech talks, pair programming sessions, and a shared knowledge base to ensure information flows freely.
