About Our Working Culture & Values

Our team is young and hard working. We value down time and flexibility but we also believe that we have a unique opportunity at Yellow and we work very hard to meet the high standards we set for ourselves. This is not an office job, you will be working from home, on the road etc.

We value resilience and self-reliance. Though we constantly organise ourselves to tackle problems in teams and ruthlessly support one another, we also believe that building independence and self-reliance in the face of challenges is an important part of growth.

We believe that long term sustainability is a worthwhile goal. Whether in one’s personal life, from a business perspective, in relationships, or in the environment, we believe that prioritising long term benefits over short term wins is a good strategy. As such, we aim for balance, and slow, steady and disciplined progress in all that we do.
