What we do

• We Believe in Having Fun: Our WellUs team organises monthly events like Pet Zoom Calls, 45-minute Yoga classes, and after-hours cocktail lessons.
• We Want You to Take a Break: We believe it is the quality of work that matters, not the hours spent “on the clock”. We offer flexible working hours and unlimited vacation.
• We Work in Teams: We work in teams rather than as individuals. Some teams, like our Product Teams, have agile ceremonies such as standups and sprint planning.
• We Pitch Our Ideas: We independently sketch ideas then come to team discussions with prototypes instead of trying to reach consensus through extended discussion.
• We Challenge Norms: We don’t want to be typical. We believe in challenging the status quo. We encourage our teammates to make their jobs their own.
