Life at Powens
Powens has above all a strong tech culture and an expertise recognized on the European & LATAM markets. Innovation is part of our identity. It is what has enabled us to bring new ways of experiencing financial processes.
What drives us is to take up challenges together and to develop use cases: create new products, develop our platform in Europe and LATAM, or to make a better use of banking and financial data to empower consumers and businesses.
What guides us is our ambition: to design the first Open Finance platform in Europe & LATAM, to conquer new markets and to revolutionize financial services.
We offer a multicultural environment composed of 20 nationalities where everyone can innovate and develop their ideas. Powens is also a scale-up allowing a hybrid work environment to work remotely everywhere in the world.
We offer each employee trainings to increase their skills and career opportunities in France, Spain and Mexico.
But above all, we are 130 employees who share a human adventure in a caring and inclusive environment.
Remote working
Powens has set up a hybrid remote organisation to provide a flexible working environment.
Employees spend an average of 2-3 days in the office per week, but some spend as little as 3 days in the office per month.
Our remote working policy applies worldwide, and employees can spend up to 25% of their working time abroad.
This organisation enables us to recruit candidates from all over France, Spain and Mexico.
What's more, for people living in other areas, we make a budget available to contribute to accommodation and transport costs when travelling to Paris or Barcelona.
It's not enough to offer flexible remote policy, you also have to make sure that employees are in the best conditions to telework from home! That's why we provide all employees with a budget to buy IT equipment if necessary.
Daily life of the teams
We want to offer our employees a pleasant and welcoming work environment every day. To get together, we organize a breakfast every Monday morning and a "happy friday" once a month. We also have fresh fruit baskets every week.
Corporate events are part of our daily life. We regularly organize events such as parties, an annual seminar, and fun theme days (Beach, Halloween, Back to School,...) where employees can dress up!
Each manager has a quarterly budget to organize team building events and strengthen team spirit.
Each quarter, during a team building day, the managers have the opportunity to review the achievements and define with the team the priorities for the next months. A team building activity is planned at the end of the day (Escape Game, boat rental, Karaoke evening,...).
Career development and training
Career development is a central focus. This is why we propose individualized paths for each employee, and have set up a career plan. Each employee can thus visualize the skills expected for his/her position and the possible career evolutions at Powens.
In order to make the career plan come alive and to allow for career evolutions, it is necessary to assist the employees in the development of new skills and knowledge.
We have set up a digital onboarding program. Employees identified as experts on a specific topic share their expertise to the others by creating learning content.
In addition to that, employees have access to external training. In this case, we look for the best partners to help employees acquire new skills (e.g. English courses, AWS training, professional training, etc.).
