One modus operandi is where Ikea gives advice on the fundamental kitchen composition and Reform then offers the specific products. When you decide you want a customized Reform kitchen or Reform cabinet doors, you send your desired design to Reform - and in less than a month it will be delivered. The philosophy of Reform is to create a fun and exciting atmosphere for every employee. We want motivated people who want their job to be a big part of their life; you spend so much of your lifetime working, so we do what we can to create the best possible framework. Our company structure is flat with a lot of freedom for employees to create their own terms and workflow. We actually call ourselves a family and have both regular and Christmas lunches and enjoy going out for a beer. We often go outside of the office for our lunches as well as for other activities, such as going for Swedish meatballs at Ikea, playing a basketball match or do business meetings on weekend trips abroad.
