Samwise’s culture of innovation extends beyond our products and services to our leadership and ways of working.
We are reimagining the future of work by creating a holistic work culture, thoughtful benefits, and a commitment to the sustainability of our planet.
Our values
Excellence
“Strive for excellence” is the motto that drives our company. The Samwise team is devoted to exceeding the expectations of our stakeholders in every single activity or project.
Transparency
Communication and transparency are essential to building long-lasting, credible and trustworthy relationships with all our stakeholders. We keep all our internal and external stakeholders constantly informed about the status of the organization and the projects in which we are involved.
Entrepreneurship
We believe in meritocracy. It is, therefore, necessary that employees feel free and motivated to propose ideas, make decisions and take responsibility. The entrepreneurial spirit of each team member is the force that drives us to succeed.
Friendship
Friendship is what makes this company the coolest place to work. It is the glue that holds the entire team together. Striving for excellence is not easy, but if we row in the same direction, we can go far and beyond.
Passion
Passion and ambition are part of our behaviour and way of life. From the bottom to the top of the organization, we believe without passion, nothing moves forward.
Sustainability
As a company, we strive for sustainability in all areas. Whether it is organic company food, 100% green energy used in our offices, recycling our waste or relationships with our partners and customers.
Our commitment
Samwise is owned and led by its founders, who drive our progressive culture and values. These values are reflected in how we work as a team, make decisions, and set goals. We are committed to showing other companies what is possible when people and the planet are as important as profits.
Working at Samwise
Our fully remote, international team offers opportunities to learn and grow within a dynamic environment of diverse values and worldviews.
At Samwise, you’ll join a thriving community working collectively to become a better place to work and in doing so, build a better world.
We believe in shared ownership
We believe in shared ownership, so we work in an agile environment where decision-making is decentralized and driven by the team.
We believe in a healthy workplace
We talk often about the issues important to sustaining a healthy life at work and beyond – like physical and mental health, clear communication of needs and feelings, our responsibility for the environment, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. And we work together to move from education towards action.
We believe in autonomy
We are entrepreneurs, so we believe people do their best work when given the freedom and autonomy to bring their good ideas to life.
We believe in human connections
We invest in building strong working relationships, even as a remote team. Various opportunities are available throughout the year to engage with teams in person through team bonding events, co-workings, conferences, and more.
Human-Centred Perks
Our vision for the future of work involves challenging ourselves to leave behind the norms driven by outdated workplace paradigms. We believe that when companies are redesigned to equally consider the needs of the business, its employees, and society, abundance follows. In a culture of “more”, employees’ innovative thinking and ways of working leads to greater flexibility – to spend more time with the people you love, to give to the causes you care about, and to sustain better physical and mental health.

4-day work week
As advocates and early adopters of the 4-day work week, Samwise offers societal and personal benefits for our people and the communities to which we belong, all while enjoying our Fridays off!
Healthcare
We make sure all our employees have access to healthcare. In countries without access to publicly-subsidized healthcare, Samwise covers 100% of employee premiums and discounted benefits to their families.
Coaching
Samwise offers free and confidential access to coaching services for mental health support and diversity, equity and inclusion guidance.
Vacation
In addition to six weeks of PTO, we offer one week of community service days each year, so that we all can give back in our local communities.
Parent-friendly
We are a parent-friendly company, providing paid parental leave options, flexibility and thoughtful policies for all parents.
And we’re just getting started! As our team grows and our culture of abundance continues to evolve, Samwise is committed to continually evaluating the needs of our employees to develop new benefits that meet them where they are in life.
