Everyone who works at takealot.com subscribes to the following values:

FAST
The success of any business today depends on quick decisions and decisive implementation. Big does not beat small but fast definitely beats slow.

SIMPLIFY

Make it easier for customers, refine your ideas, refine them again and when you think you have arrived, refine yet again.

INDIVIDUALISE

Each and every customer needs to be treated as an individual, it is not about averages, it’s about the individual. Obsess about the customer.

SMART

Systems are important, resources are important, but the best people are the most important asset to any business. This means that the company will only employ the most dedicated, smart, results-orientated, team players around.

FUN

You have to love what you are doing; if you don’t then you should reconsider working here.

ITERATE & INNOVATE

Innovation is not about ground-sweeping changes but about consistent, everyday, iterative improvement. This applies to every work stream in the business.

DO IT

If you see a problem, find the solution, it’s your responsibility not someone else’s. Be accountable.

WISE

Spend only where it needs to be spent and spend wisely.

FORTHRIGHT

Challenge each other to be the best. Be clear, unambiguous and respectful in reminding each other when we’re not.
