What is work/life balance like at your company?

As an early-stage startup, we wouldn’t want to hide this reality to prospective candidates: raw hours make a big difference in the impact we can make right now. This won’t always be the case, but it is at present.

So, often we find ourselves working later in the evening, on rare occasions a weekend, but it’s mostly driven by personal ambition. We don’t have any expectations of anyone to do so.

However, we love our employees to work flexible with an open-door policy where any employee can reach founders directly.

Our cultural values are...

Customer First: You put the best interest of customers first. It means doing the right thing for the customer even when none (the customer, your manager) is watching.

Innovation: Be an out of the box thinker

Love of Learning: Be curious to learn and implement

Impact: You accomplish an amazing amount of work

Ownership Taker: You take ownership of your goals and don’t blame others for lack of success and be a problem solver.

Authentic and Honest: You are quick to admit mistakes, learn from it. Always assume everyone is working with the best intention. No behind-the-door criticism.

Pro-active- Do it before someone come to ask for it.

Co-operative- Finally gel well with the team.

So, if you think you’re a right fit and ready to take the challenge why late write to us and our People and Culture department will come in touch with you to discuss further.
