Our Culture
Our people-centric culture and company values are key contributors to our positive and inclusive environment where we encourage each other to be the best version of ourselves through the pursuit of excellence. Despite our growth, we have maintained the principles of a flat structure to ensure everyone’s voice is heard and the best ideas get airtime. With supportive colleagues and a drive towards high performance, the opportunities to explore interests and challenge yourself are boundless.
Mako welcomes curiosity and rewards excellence. We want to empower initiative and facilitate fresh perspectives. We recognise the importance of a culture which promotes and celebrates innovation and creativity.
Our fun, relaxed and supportive community creates the ideal environment to facilitate the free flow of ideas, allowing interdisciplinary teams to embrace complexity and develop truly innovative solutions. A fresh perspective is a welcome perspective and good ideas always get air time.
Opportunities for Growth
We are committed to helping team members grow and develop their skillset. Mobility is highly encouraged across the business, including opportunities to travel and be part of project work with global teams; there’s never a dull day.
In an ever-changing financial landscape, lifelong education is paramount. We support both internal and external opportunities for growth and development and offer pathways to achieve professional credentials. Through a wealth of resources, comprehensive training programmes, and mentorship, we believe in investing in those who are passionate about their growth, ensuring every member has the tools and support needed to excel.
Wellbeing
#WeAreMako
Mako actively encourages a healthy work-life balance. We believe the best way to facilitate engagement is by creating an environment where you can be yourself. Whether you prefer chess games or hackathons, pool or poker tournaments, or simply socialising, there will always be an interesting event to get involved in.
We provide generous benefit schemes across our global offices, including hybrid working and flexible leave policies. Our teams enjoy unique perks that complement our culture, providing fun and relaxation during downtime. Through our wellbeing programmes, we often host nutritionist popup clinics, expert lectures on everything from biohacking to stress management, and even laughter yoga. We are always up for incorporating new ideas and initiatives.
