    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 status report 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:

    • 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
    • Understanding that if an emergency comes up, family comes first
    • Flexible work hours
    • A recreational area with foosball, table tennis and fatsaks that are perfect for naps

    To make sure that we stay a tight knit team, but still get to that surfing we have benefits such as:

    • Company getaways
    • Team socialising, hikes, getaways, and dinners

    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:
    1- Tell everyone about it
    2 - Fix mistake
    3 - 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.
