**Why work at Zipmex?**

First of all, why not? But also for the following reasons.

**_Do great work. _**

We can talk around it, but at the end of the day, this is why we want to hire you. We come to work every day (not literally of course — not weekends or holidays or whatever, but you get the idea) to create something.

**_Hopefully something really great. _**

What is great work? Great work has a purpose, it solves a problem, it creates ways for people to connect. If it wins awards or if other people think it’s cool then that’s nice, we guess, but that's not why we do it. We do it because it has impact, it helps someone, it makes their lives easier or better or just more fun.

**_Do great work in a strong culture. _**

Culture is one of those words. People throw it around a lot. It’s hard to define exactly what it is. But it’s something you feel pretty much straight away.

We’re not going to lie. The culture at Zipmex isn’t perfect. L
