Trolls take responsibility when they see that it is needed, and they are empowered to do so. Trolls can be very different. Diversity is one of our strengths, it allows us to grow together and find new ways of facing challenges. Our most important task is to build each other, because we are the people who build the company. We achieve this by cooperating and helping each other across offices, departments, projects and fields of expertise. We believe that all Trolls should have a share of the financial success that Trolltech will have.We believe that Trolls achieve best when they live complete and balanced lives.

6. Learning

We never stop learning. Trolls like to teach themselves new things and learn from each other and they get the opportunity to do so. We thrive on change and achieve excellence through trying and failing. A well-meant error, on any level, should never be punished, because it is an opportunity for us to learn and improve.
