Career growth - Delivering world-class financial services software products in a fast-paced company is not easy, and it takes an insane amount of effort. But in return for your effort you'll get hands-on experience working on products that are used by millions of people, and a high quality work experience that will accelerate your career faster than anywhere else.
Transparency - We openly discuss strategy, finances, salaries and other major decisions.
Autonomy - We know you'll be able to make good decisions if you have good information, and we trust you.
Shared Vision - You'll be able to shape a vision you can believe in - on how to build the future of financial services.
Work-life balance - You know when your brain has switched off for the day and you need to go for a hike or coffee shop with a view, but you also know when your team needs help to bring that strategic deliverable home. At Electrum you will be expected to know when you deserve that time out, and when you need to knuckle down and get the work done.

These are few practical ways we practise the culture we are so proud of:

Flexible work hours
Onsite gym and shower facilities
Daily cooked lunches and a stocked kitchen for the afternoon nibbles
Team socialising like hikes, getaways, and dinners
A generous leave policy, starting at 20 days per year

Fatsaks scattered around the office for deep thinking or meditation

We know mistakes happen, and that’s okay. We even have a three-step approach to dealing with them:
Tell everyone about it
Fix the mistake
Tell everyone about the solution

You are responsible for your actions – both the successes and the failures
We talk openly about salaries and bonuses. At Electrum, we believe it’s evident why some people earn more and others a bit less. It’s like being on a sports team where salaries are widely known.
