Our product is revolutionising the entire payments network... Our platform will enable multiple forms of digital currency to flow between businesses to the people they serve, instantly, without the need for a bank account. It's a game changer.

We have shared values that enable us to win together! These align to building a great high performing team, collaborating to making the best decisions, being able to adapt and support one another and constantly improving. At each companywide meeting we recognise people within the business who have achieved great things and link those to the values they've demonstrated.

We're doing something that hasn't been done before. The traditional financial infrastructure is built for consumers to pay for goods and services, but until now there was nothing that can effectively facilitate B2C pay-outs - we're fixing a problem that effects millions of people!

WeGift is running a range of new, complex projects and everyone is driven to make ambitious goals happen. It's busy year round with endless learning opportunities that can take years to get at other companies

I've worked in multiple countries and never been at a company as diverse and thoughtful as WeGift.

Managers are all supportive of both personal and professional development. We have weekly 1:1s and constructive, direct feedback loops so one always knows how well you're doing.

The people at WeGift inspire you to bring your A-game. Talking through business challenges and ideas is a collaborative and open part of how we work that provides you with different ideas and perspectives to learn from.

As soon as the pandemic hit WeGift prioritised people's wellbeing and gave everyone the option to work where they felt safe and productive, where ever in the world that may be. In the new year WeGift will continue to ensure flexibility remains at the heart of who we are.

You are empowered to work how you like to work to get the outcome you need. Our No Meeting Wednesdays allow you to focus on deep work without distractions which is great.

We get a problem then the team designs a solution using the best tools for the job. There's a real sense of ownership of your work as you are responsible for it.

Really great group of people who care about each other. I come into the office (post-COVID) because I want to see them and go for a drink after work.

We're rapidly adopting new technologies (cloud native at the moment) which is exactly where I want to be. Time can be set aside for getting up to speed with these. Recently launched a serverless API having done next to no Lambda/AWS before.

We have over 20 different nationalities in a team and leadership places an emphasis on building an inclusive culture (i.e. all employees have attended an inclusive behaviours training). I have benefitted so much professionally and personally from my colleagues who have taught me about different perspectives, cultures and ways of thinking.

I have been able to lean into any projects that interests me within the People function and have been supported in my learning and development through a structured career progression framework and personal development plan. We also have an annual L&D budget where I have been able to receive external, formal training to aid me in my role.

This is the first Company I have worked in where I have been truly excited about the scope and scale of the mission. We are truly changing the way money is spent and sent which is something that impacts everyone. The speed at which we have shipped features and developed our product in the last 4 years makes me excited for the years ahead!

People within teams recognise each other and provide feedback - for job well done, as well as what you could have done better. Moreover great work is recognised at company level quarterly and rewarded by using our own platform.

Questions, concerns etc are not only welcome, but very much encouraged.

Quick and easy way to transfer a value makes a lot of sense.

With the constant progress the company is making, there are a diverse set of interesting & challenging technical tasks to be solved.

The company ensures we have great support for physical & mental health especially during busy periods.

With the diverse set of technical challenges we always look to solve them with the best tool for the job. We don't shy away from using new technology, which is great because it gives us constant opportunities to try out new tools.

We're not just doing e gift cards, there's a much bigger future and we've just started building some of the most difficult parts of it. I don't think I can say exactly what it is but it's technically challenge and will completely change what we can offer our customers.

We're judged around metrics and performance rather than a todo list of dilverables.

Eng has gone 2.5x. Lots new people in the team who I'm proud to be working with.

The complete transparency across the business enables me to understand how my work across People and Talent directly impacts the growth of the business and product offering!

The onboarding process at WeGift is one that enables all employees to get a flavour of the culture and values by speaking to different teams, all with differing backgrounds and experiences. We believe that by fostering a culture which will empower our team to be their authentic selves at work; enabling innovation and decisions that optimally serve our clients and users.

At WeGift we celebrate great work no matter how small the feat may be! Everyone deserves to feel recognised for the work that they do, and that's a super important part of our culture.
