About our culture

We recently asked Droverians what they love most about working here and 60+% of them wrote “the people”! We are proud of the amazing team we have assembled across London, Lisbon, Bucharest and Paris. While each office is unique, we all share a few fundamental commitments:

We’re proactive and take ownership of problems. You will never be micromanaged here. Instead, we give you the space to learn and grow, even if it means making a few mistakes along the way.
We’re a cohesive unit and are here for each other if times get tough... and they sure do sometimes - startups are no walk in the park.
We cherish feedback, whether praise or constructive criticism because it’s the only way to get better at what we do.
We judge ideas on merit rather than who they came from - how much impact have is only up to you.
We all have our own interests, yours doesn’t have to be car.
