Culture and benefits at Paddle

Culture overview

We care deeply about maintaining a welcoming and inclusive workplace, and our five core values are lived in how we collaborate, which goals to focus on and what perks we provide. Our open & transparent culture creates a trusting and supportive environment where everyone can be their best selves without giving it a second thought. We encourage autonomy and believe in our people – not telling you what to do, but empowering you to take ownership while giving guidance and providing you the tools to get there. We place our trust in our people and want everyone to build upon and maintain this trust. We approach challenges creatively and collaboratively – staying curious for us means always trying out new things, as individuals and as a team, learning as we go. If we see something falling down, we pick it up, focusing of the impact of our actions to aid the success of the team. We value intelligence, honesty and aiming to do the right thing with every step you take. We believe in having diverse teams in which everyone can be their authentic self is key to our success. We encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply and we don't discriminate based on race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, marital status, disability or age. ​Our office is wheelchair friendly and we are a family-friendly employer​.
