Our Principles

At Fat Zebra we believe in behaving in a professional & supportive manner. The payments industry is full of complex jargon and overloaded terminology. Mistakes are easy to make. We support both new and existing staff by working to the following principles:

  • Be polite. Interactions with peers are always kind. Argue against an idea - never against the person.
  • Be pragmatic. Seek to deliver on the bigger picture of generating value for our customers over perfection in code.
  • Be helpful. We believe the best work-places are ones where we know there is always someone available to help if we need it. Respond promptly when someone asks for help.
  • Be bold. Strive to go outside your comfort zone. We are a small team - and we frequently go into uncharted territory. Even if failure is possible, learning is guaranteed.
