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 that surf and when you need to knuckle down and get the work done. To help you manage your own time and energy, Electrum has benefits such as:

Flexible work hours

• Onsite gym and shower facilities
• Daily cooked lunches and a stocked kitchen for the mid-day nibbles
• Team socialising, hikes, getaways, and dinners
• A generous leave policy, starting at 20 days per year
• 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 the 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.
