Benefits
A good work-life balance is very important at Electrum. You know when your brain has switched off for the day and you need to go for a surf, but you also know when the document you have written is sloppy. At Electrum you will be expected to know when you deserve a surf and when you need to knuckle down and get the work done. For the more “knuckle down” days we make it worth your while with benefits such as:
- Company getaways
- Onsite gym and shower facilities
- Daily cooked lunches and a stocked kitchen for the mid-day nibbles
- A rad coffee station where you can practice your cappuccino foam art
- Team socialising, hikes, getaways, and dinners
- Understanding that if an emergency comes up, family comes first
- A generous leave policy, starting at 20 days per year
- Flexible work hours
- A recreational area with foosball, table tennis and fatsaks that are perfect for naps
We have created a safe, transparent environment where:
- We know mistakes happen, and that’s okay. We even have a 3 step approach to dealing with them:
- Tell everyone about it
- Fix mistake
- Tell everyone about it
- 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.
