Culture at Mews
Mews culture in a nutshell
Ask anyone at Mews to describe our culture (and you should), and you’ll get a hundred different versions of the same answer. We’re open. We’re direct but we’re playful. We’re in love with autonomy, with working hard but also smart. We’re a friendly team who have each other's backs, and we leave our egos at the door.
Our culture is our success. Many companies roll out the cliché of being like a family, but we prefer to think of Mews as a high performing sports team. Everyone in this team has a crucial role to play and everyone’s role is of equal importance. No stars, no divas.
Look around our website and social channels. Get to know us and our values. But don’t just take our word for it: see what others have to say on Glassdoor, both about applying for Mews and working here. We're a Glassdoor OpenCompany after all, we take transparency seriously.
Not everyone loves what they do, but we're lucky in that regard.
We have a bold vision and a genuine passion to make hospitality better, and we’re looking for people who share our hard work and ambition. Will you join us for the ride?

If there’s anything about finance that Pavla doesn’t know, it’s not worth knowing. Her financial plans are the only thing that keep us from spending all of our money on merch.

“I feel that I have a voice at Mews in every sense of the word, which is not true for many companies, and that’s why I love working here so much. Having a say in the how, when and where of my work supports a good quality of life outside of my career. Having autonomy and influence combined with the support of my team helps me build a career I’m proud of.”
Danica Cortez,
Data Analyst, Tech team
"Working at Mews, I truly feel that I’m a part of something bigger. I feel like I’m embodying our “Make things remarkable” mantra on a day-to-day basis which is something I’ve never experienced before – and being surrounded by such an awesome group of people doesn’t hurt either. I’m blessed to be a part of such a great company."
Jeki Kasanga,
Customer Onboarding Manager, CORE team
"The Commercial team's strength stems from an empathy for the industry we serve. Most of us have lived and breathed the daily aches and pains that a hotelier experiences, and are driven to bring real change to hospitality. This passion makes us fearless, curious and pushes us to make every client experience remarkable. That's why I'm proud to be at Mews!"
Craig Bonafont,
Director - SMB, Commercial team
"What I appreciate most about Mews is the trust and transparency. There's a great level of transparency in the business – strategy, objectives, metrics, and lessons learned. It's a continuously collaborative process where teams are trusted to autonomously contribute towards high-level objectives. At the same time, open communication across reporting lines and functions keeps everyone in sync and helps us understand how our work helps move Mews forward."
Sylvia Tang,
Junior Product Manager | Connectivity, Product team
"I love the impact that I'm able to have at Mews. I feel truly empowered to not only influence my own workflows and projects, but to contribute to how the company operates and the decisions we make.
I love that suggestions are always valued, listened to, and often acted upon. All of that while working with some of the smartest and most inspiring people I have ever met."
Louis Van Hyfte,
Business Operations Analyst, Finance team
"The collective ambition of Mewsers was very apparent to me straight away and you quickly understand this is a special place to work. We all have the desire to build something that's memorable and significant, for us as well as our users.
I love the desire to create equity and transparency in Mews. As everyone gets equity in the company, it creates an incredible level of ownership and investment in the work we are doing."
James Mantle,
Director of Talent Acquisition - Recruiter for People and Finance, People team
"From the first time I met the Mews team, you could feel the energy in the room. It was lively, there was laughter, and there was an enthusiasm and a freshness that made me think: this place is crazy and I like crazy! Mews is solving the right set of problems at the right time. Matt and Richard’s instincts ten years ago were spot on, so Mews isn’t just any other normal job opportunity. It’s probably the best job of my life."
Leah Anathan,
Chief Marketing Officer, Marketing team
"Woof woof, woof woof Mews woof woof woof. Bark? Woof."
