QARA, at its core, strives to be just like any other company; to offer something of value to the world. We hope to bridge the gap between finance and tech by racing to the front of innovation. Combining affordability and convenience into a single practical solution, QARA aims to provide a greater freedom for people to make healthier and smarter investment decisions.

“… racing to the front of innovation.”

We value positivity, collaborative spirit, integrity, and above all else, a respect for yourself and others. At QARA, we love working with people. This means we don’t have a top-down approach to collaboration. We foster a creative, flexible, and inclusive environment where anyone can become leaders.

Now with all this in mind, we present to you our “QARA-genic” work culture.

1. QARA is composed of global professionals.

  • We welcome people from all over the world
  • We don’t just stick with one culture, one background, or one identity
  • We are open-minded

2. Do your best today and a better tomorrow will come.

  • We give our best efforts to the present time
  • We aren’t too preoccupied with how things might turn out
  • We are proactive in finding solutions for the “here and now”

3. A great co-worker means showing kindness to others.

  • We treat people with respect, regardless of differences
  • We are free to own up to mistakes
  • We encourage everyone to be transparent

4. Creative ideas come from diversity, not similarity.

  • We thrive on differences and change
  • We encourage everyone to speak out
  • We adopt multiple perspectives and welcome new thinking

5. Freedom and responsibility are one and the same.

  • We create a sense of ownership that comes naturally
  • We inspire others to manage their own tasks
  • We practice self-discipline that benefits the company’s growth

6. Anyone can become leaders and lead their own projects.

  • We step up as leaders and take on individual projects
  • We help each other grow as leaders
  • We are open to feedback

7. Starting is always better than waiting. Just do it and learn as you go.

  • We strive for excellence, not perfection
  • We believe in the power of action, not just words
  • We constantly look for ways to improve our work

8. Facts and opinions. Make sure to communicate them clearly.

  • We back our decisions with clear and concise data
  • We adapt our communication style to fit the needs of other coworkers
  • We articulate our speech and writing so there’s no misunderstanding

9. We have an open mic policy. Let’s encourage everyone to be friendly with others!

  • We make time to get to know our colleagues
  • We seek to understand others from their point of view
  • We refrain from saying anything negative or discouraging to others

10. There’s a way to overcome any obstacle. Stay positive and always look forward.

  • We stay curious and try different tactics to find a practical and useful solution
  • We refuse to debate in topics that seem overly trivial
  • We invite disagreements, but only in a respectful and cooperative manner

All this is easier said than done. But what QARA hopes to achieve is that by sustaining a culture that’s built around collaboration and productivity, we can find new ways to make a dent in our industry sector. And every person who joins our team is here to help make that possible.
