Workplace & Culture
At Yousign, we want to advocate for the well-being of our employees, so that the collaborative adventure we just
talked about 😉 👆 is as fulfilling as possible.
That’s why we offer:
- flex office. Phenomenal offices in Paris, at the Place de la Concorde, and on the marina of Caen, the historical
headquarters of the company. ⛵Full-remote is possible for a large part of the teams,
- asynchronous work. We communicate both synchronously and asynchronously with tools that make this
distance more pleasant: Slack, Notion, Discord, Google Workplace, etc.
- unifying team building. We all meet together to exchange formally but also for fun!
- sports. Many yousigners like to be energized by doing sports activities or even competitions together or
individually,
- ecology. We advocate the "0 paper" policy, the use of compost, public transportation...and many other things!
We also have a partnership with Ecotree: for every 10 clients we plant a tree to reduce our carbon footprint.
Today, this represents more than 1,200 trees.
