• Shared Vision - You'll be able to shape a vision you can believe in - on how to build the future of financial services.
• Work-life balance - You know when your brain has switched off for the day, and you need to go for a hike or coffee shop with a view, but you also know when your team needs help to bring that strategic deliverable home. At Electrum, you will be expected to know when you deserve that time out and when you need to knuckle down and get the work done.

• These are a few practical ways we practice the culture we are so proud of:
• Flexible work hours.
• Our Cape Town offices offer a fully-stocked kitchen with daily lunch provided.
• Our Johannesburg-based staff have access to Workshop17 facilities.
• Team socializing like hikes, getaways, and dinners.

2. Fix the mistake.
3. Tell everyone about the solution.

• 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.
