Hear from our team members
Recognition and growth
"When I was first promoted in April 2020 amidst hard times, I felt appreciated for my hard work. Carousell also encourages learning outside of work - I am going to be taking a brand strategy course which is not directly related to my sales job function!"
Best culture
"CarouFam is the nicest, most accommodating and positive bunch of colleagues I've ever met in my life. My teammates always ensured to include me for all lunches and activities like table tennis, and badminton. They even made a special effort to groom me amidst their busy schedules, for that I'm always grateful! Teamwork makes the dream work! You will feel a sense of camaraderie working at Carousell, whereby everyone is driven towards their work goals! I look forward to Mondays, and have never once dragged my boots to work. It's like going to university to do group projects, but you get paid."
Ownership
"We have neat lines of departments and organisations within the company, with everyone being responsible for different parts of the Carousell experience. What you don't see in the Carousell organisational chart is how each of us take extreme ownership of problems faced by our users, ensuring that we bring the right people together to solve them instead of waiting for someone to pick them up for us. We're all responsible for how much our product is loved by the community so we make it a point to work together to solve problems first."
Work-life harmony
"Carousell truly has an inclusive and harmonious work culture. I took time off my career a few years ago to care for my newborn and returned back to the workforce at Carousell. The CarouFam has been welcoming and accomodating, and Carousell is supportive of flexible work arrangements which helps me work with confidence and empowerment to find a balance between my responsibilities at work and at home."
Awesome projects and teammates
"Everyday is filled with new and exciting challenges at Carousell! I love how the organisation is so user-centric and how our day-to-day work is so collaborative and cross-functional. I am learning tremendously and being inspired each day by our passionate and very talented colleagues."
Care deeply
"The heart of Carousell is our community of users who have been with us since the beginning. As a researcher, I had the privilege to hear stories of how people like you and me build their businesses from scratch, pass on their beloved items to others who appreciate them, and transform their lifestyles with affordable items that are unique and hard to find elsewhere. Countless friendships are forged among millions of Carousellers. This is surely a meaningful career!"
Collaborative atmosphere
"Carousell values great ideas and hard work that lead you to be more responsible at work. It is also a workplace with supportive colleagues across all markets, who are always looking after one another. I absolutely love working with my multicultural colleagues in such a collaborative atmosphere."
No one is a mile away
"Everyone is within reach. The leaders are humble. I'm especially astounded by the Leadership Team's willingness to listen to their employees. I remember my experience being approached by one of the founders to ask insights on what I think is an opportunity for the employee relations. Other leaders set a time to play boardgames with you. They greet you when you're having your morning coffee at the pantry. You can easily approach them for feedback and suggestions."
Best culture and teamwork
"When I first worked at Carousell as an intern, I was very surprised by the culture of this company, where we helped each other, always doing brainstorming and not treating someone based on their position. All were treated the same. After 3 months of work, I was trusted to take part in a large project. As an intern, of course that motivated me to work better. Even after three years of working in Carousell, a positive culture is still felt because everyone will naturally follow the culture. This makes Carousell a very comfortable and productive workplace."
Exciting, challenging and fun environment
Carousell is a workplace that excites me every day to work. There is mutual respect and support from all the team members across the organisation. We always believe in <1% done and that brings new challenges and drives us towards the quality of features that we develop collectively. The best place to know the true meaning of work life balance.
Opportunity to learn and grow
At Carousell, we embrace engineering challenges with the latest tech advancements and the best ways to handle the complexities of Micro services at scale, with an open, conducive work culture and teams sprinting towards goals! It is one of the happening places one wants to be at.
