Our Culture

We cultivate an environment that is challenging and rewarding for each and every employee. Over the years, we’ve come to attract a unique kind of person—confident but humble, competitive but collaborative, focused but flexible. It’s a combination of traits that tie back to the values that have shaped our success to date, and will be critical to our success in the future.

The following is a shortlist of the things that set us apart. If these characteristics sound like you, then you may be a prime candidate for a career at GETCO.

A habit of leaving your ego at home.

We maintain a low-ego environment where people act and think from a perspective of what is best for the team, without an attachment to being right.

A knack for vigorous, constructive debate.

We make an effort to have meaningful, thoughtful dialogues in which our ideas are heard and discussed with respect and logic.

An open, flexible mind.

We’re comfortable thinking beyond previous assumptions, paradigms and comfort zones, and we adapt readily when new evidence challenges our ideas.

A tendency to treat everyone with respect.

We interact with each other in positive and productive ways that support what we’re capable of, not what we perceive our limits to be.

A nimble, efficient approach to process.

We utilize resources in ways that optimize our output, always finding new ways to operate more efficiently and effectively.

An unstoppable sense of creativity and innovation.

Our entire business depends mostly on the imagination and ingenuity of our people. We combine our talents with the wherewithal to always push the boundaries.

An impulse to be open and honest.

We live by the premise that “the truth is efficient.” We share knowledge, ideas, information and perceptions in a straightforward manner that adds to our productivity.

An ability to focus on what matters.

We harness the power of individual and organizational focus, always aligning our actions with the priorities of our team and with the intention to be the best.

A staunch belief in meritocracy.

We believe that compensating people for the value they bring to their teams is key to the success of our business as a whole.

A premise that 1+1=3.

We’re empowered by the talents and know-how of the people around us, and we use our time and energy in ways that create a chain reaction of inspiring others to add more value.

A priority on fun.

We have a lot of goals in our work, and having fun along the way is one of them. Each of us actively contributes to making our jobs as enjoyable and stimulating as possible.
