Yonder

The people at Yonder are GREAT. The atmosphere in the office is always fun, people are genuinely excited to help you, and we all actually really like each other. Makes coming to work every day a joy (something I've never experienced before!). We also have an office dog who comes in a couple days a week, which makes the atmosphere even better.

At Yonder we are genuinely trying to disrupt the credit industry - first with a rewards card that actually works for the customer, and longer-term by making money rewarding and credit empowering for everyone. There's a huge opportunity to make a difference to people's lives, and the team are all super inspired both by the cool product we have today, and by our longer-term mission.

We talk about "extreme ownership" and "bias to action" as two of our core values, and this is really true in practice as well. I'm the newest member of the team and was able to make major, budget-impacting decisions in my first week. It's great to work at a company that genuinely trusts me to make decisions and learn from any mistakes.

Extreme ownership is a key value at Yonder, I'm free to get on with my work, reprioritise as I see fit and lead development in several product areas. To move at the pace we do, autonomy is essential for every team member and at the end of the week we call out specific examples of this we've seen during the week.

Yonder has an amazing energy driven by every member of the team, we work hard, ship features extremely quickly and everyone loves what they do, there's a buzz in the office everyday. We make time to have fun as a team with team breakfasts, drinks and events and often go out for impromptu dinner or drinks!

The entire senior leadership is incredibly supportive, encourage you to take time off before you need it and make sure every Yonderer has what they need to be happy at work. Mistakes and what we learn from them are encouraged, this allows you the space to take risks knowing the management will have your back!

The team at Yonder are all about biasing towards action. So there's no micromanagement when it comes to getting your work done. There's a wide open paddock for you explore and the opportunity for you to progress wherever you like is right in your hands.

You're trusted to pick the most important and instrumental ways to make an impact in your role. If you need the guidance, support or feedback it's there - but otherwise you're trusted to do the job you've been hired for. It's not just lip service either, it's right there in the values the leadership team live every day; bias towards actions.

Everyone has a say in what this product looks like and what this company will become. Everyone's opinion on culture is welcomed, and it's exciting to see this company and product changing everyday as we all feed into their direction.
