Working at Sporty
The top-down mentality at Sporty is high performance-based, meaning we trust you to do your job with an emphasis on support to help you achieve, grow, and de-block any issues when they're in your way.
Generally, employees can choose their own hours, as long as they are collaborating and doing stand-ups, etc. The emphasis is really on results.
As we are a highly structured and established company, we are able to offer the security and support of a global business with the allure of a startup environment. Sporty is independently managed and financed, meaning we don’t have arbitrary shareholder or VC targets to cater to.
We literally build, spend, and make decisions based on the ethos of building THE best platform of its kind. We are truly a tech company to the core and take excellent care of our team members.
