Grow with people who care.

With many different backgrounds coming together in one team, our opinions may differ and are sometimes controversial. But at the end of the day, everyone is respected and we are still one cohesive unit with a strong sense of camaraderie. Each member listens and learns from the others, but we also laugh at our silly mistakes or play pranks on one another. This bond has helped us navigate through tough trials and encouraged us all to continually become better at our work. Staying real is truly a catalyst that brings all of the other core values together to create the Mercatus culture we know and love.

As our company grew, we formed cross-functional teams to develop features. At the time, this was the most significant change in Mercatus history operationally. We’ve come a long way since then, and we are still evolving but it’s been exciting to play a part in helping to drive this change and define this process over time. The essence of what makes our cross-functional teams work is in the passion and dedication of my teammates. There’s an energizing feeling when you know your team is really collaborating and gelling well, and an even greater sense of accomplishment when together you deliver a kick-ass product.

Taking ownership is not just doing a job, or working on a project, it means making it your mission to see it through. Taking ownership is about taking initiative. We take ownership when we believe that taking action is not someone else’s responsibility. It doesn’t mean you have an obligation to own the project, or that you shouldn’t involve others. For me, it means that you enjoy what you do to the fullest, take pride in your own hard work and want to see the success of the end result.

We might think that courage belongs to the bravest of us, but the truth is, it takes courage to meet our goals and drive our business forward. It takes courage to develop strong professional relationships based on trust and accountability. It takes courage to honour culture, diversity and inclusion within our organization. In the story of Mercatus and grocery eCommerce, it takes courage to challenge tech giants and enable regional grocers with software solutions that help build their businesses, and get food from stores to families’ tables nationwide. We all own the courage and commitment to be our best selves and build the best company.

Emi Takeda, Sr Manager, Brand and Marketing Communications

Mercatus is full of wonderful people in a safe environment where passion is allowed to thrive freely and naturally. We see it and live it every day. A big part of our culture is creating an environment that allows people to be themselves, to collaborate, to be authentic, to go further and be courageous! The culmination of all that conjures up that one special, extraordinary, mysterious ingredient that pulls everything together… passion. It’s passion that drives us to do special and incredible things. Passion is the glue that holds us together through thick and thin and fuels the fire for the love of the things we do, and the people we’re around.

Reflection is baked into my planning process. Every project is built off of the last one, sometimes from the same file. All of my web ads are informed by the previous ads. It’s like standing on the shoulders of all of my past work. As a team, reflecting and sharing knowledge on past projects helps us start from a better and more efficient place. Organizationally, if we don’t think critically about where we’ve been, we won’t know how to get to where we want to go. Reflection and change go hand in hand.
