Lazada Philippines Review: Awesome corporate culture


There are a lot of things that makes for an amazing company culture and we are going to go through some of those things today. The main point of interest here is the Philippines online shopping mall Lazada the internet company that created it, the online start-up incubator and online venture builder Rocket-Internet. This is an amazing company that has been achieving great stuff since day one and that makes their practices and corporate culture worth looking at and emulating. There are so many things and factors that have brought this company to great heights and we are going to look at them, dissect them, scrutinize, chop, slice and dice the ideas that make them an awesome company. The first is, of course the company vision-mission 

Vision-Mission – All companies have some kind of a vision-mission. I know formulating a vision-mission has already become a cliché. A lot of companies, even organizations that are not involved in the business of making profits have a vision-mission. I don’t know but they have to have one if they want to succeed. That gives every company some kind of a goal to focus on and target. Rocket-Internet is no stranger to having a vision-mission. When other companies and organizations opt for something that is more poetic and socially conscious, Rocket-Internet goes for the practical one, something that a lot of employees and people can easily relate to. The company’s vision-mission is all about making things happen, and making them happens fast. It is all about achievement. Whatever it takes to win and be on the top. The company believes in humility, dedication and hard work. They also put a premium on sharing valuable information and knowledge and take a huge pride on having the ability to solve problems independently.   They also believe on what is possible and potential. The ability to achieve things despite the opposition.

Out of the box thinking – The founders of this great company also puts an even higher premium on the value of creative and out of the box thinking. Iconoclasts will thrive better in this company than those who are merely going along with the waves and are afraid to take risks. The more daring the idea is, the better it would be for the company. Creativity is the fuel of innovation, without creativity, man will probably be using stone tools and we could not have conquered the moon and set satellites into orbit and explore the vast recesses of outer space. 

Employment opportunities – A company’s success rests on the back of the people working for it, in fact, without manpower, there would not be any kind of business. The leaders of this company believes in intelligence more than experience, and that kind of belief that the leaders of the company held gives a lot of creative and intelligent people a  shot at a corporate position. It does not matter whatever background you have, as long as you can contribute and throw ideas at the table then you are a perfect fit for this amazing venture builder. Those are juts among the few things that make this company amazing and there are lots more.
