An Insider's view of Shipup

What are some social events your company does?

Off-sites are an important part of Shipup. Our team has discovered Corsica, Cap Ferret, Val d'Isère, Marrakech, and Sicily together! 😎 We also host company parties and barbecues that are amazing for team bonding. We value our weekly lunch, drinks, and coffee breaks since we believe that a social-work balance is the best way to spend a great week!
