Our culture 

At Road, we believe that an open mindset and challenging ourselves are key to achieving the best results. As we continue to grow, we’re working on adding more structure and clearer processes that will help us reach the next phase together. This isn’t just about how we work, but also about how we support each other as people.

Collaboration is one of our core values, and it shows in the way we connect day to day. We share a company-organised lunch every afternoon and regularly host voluntary activities outside of work. These moments help us recharge, get to know each other better, and keep our culture strong. Because in our eyes: a healthy team is the foundation of a healthy company.
