How the Fidel API team works from anywhere
Trusting the team to manage their own time and decide where they work from not only serves our company mission, but allows us to go above and beyond it, and enjoy the journey to get there, too.

Trusting the team to manage their own time and decide where they work from not only serves our company mission, but allows us to go above and beyond it, and enjoy the journey to get there, too.
Trust by design is a big part of Fidel API’s culture. Teams and individuals are encouraged to manage their own time and find the balance that works for them. One of the ways the company fosters that sort of environment is through a modern, more radical, approach to how the team takes time off.
In an era that’s becoming increasingly data-driven - it’s become central to making informed decisions. From both an acquisition and wellbeing standpoint, we aim to prioritize data as the means of boosting growth, from day one.
Last month, our Talent Manager, Beatriz Lourenco, was featured in the Portuguese publication for HR professionals, Pessoas, where she shared her thoughts on the ingredients of healthy work culture. She kindly agreed to let us republish her translated article to our blog.
At Fidel, we are extremely proud of our diverse and talented team. We also take pride in running a demanding hiring process too; not demanding in the sense that we try to be unnecessarily harsh, but because we take it seriously. Therefore, we think it’s worth knowing how to get it right.
Growth can mean a lot of different things depending on who you are. A rule around the Fidel offices is that we all have different ideas about how we want to grow personally, professionally and as a business - and that has to be respected.
For companies that want to achieve the good things like growth and success, it’s not accomplished by focusing endlessly on the work. Strap in folks, this is how we have fun at Fidel.
At Fidel, we see innovation as exhibited by a ‘culture of refreshment’. Whether the focus is tools we use, markets we enter, methodologies we apply or the organization as a whole - it’s about not being attached arbitrarily to fixed methods.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be? At Fidel, we don’t have to imagine what our shared superpower would be. For us, the ability to effectively collaborate is one of the greatest superpowers we have.
Feeling heard and acknowledged is a fundamental part of a happy and effective working life. If it isn’t already obvious, we’re pretty big on feedback!
The right talent can directly support your company prospects, but it influences the experience of your customers, too. We like to think that we’ve taken that message to heart.
We're committed to growing a world-class team and providing a great candidate experience. To do it, we need feedback.
