How We Work: the culture that drives us forward
Our commitment to operational excellence and innovation doesn’t just rest on abstract ideals; it’s rooted in a set of clear, actionable behaviors we call “How We Work”. These behaviors shape how we approach every challenge, guiding our teams to make data-driven decisions, simplify the complex, and foster open collaboration. Here’s a look at the core behaviors that make “How We Work” fundamental to Allegro’s culture and success.
Making informed decisions
In a sea of data, it’s easy to get lost in numbers and overlook the real story. That’s why we dive deep into data to uncover what’s truly happening beneath the surface, using clear insights to guide our choices. By digging into the root causes behind each outcome, we’re equipped to make decisions that are both meaningful and effective.
Every decision is an opportunity to learn and improve. When facing an operational challenge, our team digs into data patterns, reviews processes, and targets the areas with the biggest impact. By focusing on data-driven insights, we don’t just treat symptoms—we solve the root causes. This approach helps us separate correlation from causation, ensuring our strategies are solid and our improvements last.
Striving for simplicity
In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, adding layers of processes and guidelines might seem like the way to manage growth. But at Allegro, we believe simplicity is the smarter path. By keeping things straightforward, we boost efficiency, spark creativity, and stay agile in a constantly evolving landscape.
“I try to see every routine task as a chance to innovate, keeping an open mind and always asking, ‘How can I make this faster, simpler?’ That’s what I did with one of my projects - instead of settling for clicks on repeat, I cut down steps, then went a step further by building a bot to automate the process—now it’s quick, reliable, and effortless"

Simplicity isn’t about oversimplifying or stripping away essential details; it’s about clarity and focus. We continuously refine our processes to reduce unnecessary steps, streamline workflows, and prioritize what truly matters. By doing so, we free up resources to innovate and respond to new challenges more swiftly. This means building mechanisms to make repetitive tasks more reliable and using language that’s clear and direct, cutting through jargon and making communication more accessible to everyone involved.
Putting purpose first, ego second
We put purpose before ego, recognizing that the best solutions come from open, honest discussions where all perspectives are welcome. While it’s natural to hold strong opinions, challenging our views, even when uncomfortable, is key to personal and team growth.
"In our team, diverse opinions are our strength. We each contribute unique insights to shape the final solution. I embrace different perspectives and believe that every voice matters—after all, a shared goal thrives on open dialogue. Listening without interruption and welcoming new ideas creates a space where everyone feels valued and respected"

By keeping the mission at the forefront, our teams encourage each other to be vocally self-critical, share honest feedback, and genuinely listen. We work to understand different perspectives, even when they contradict our own, ensuring decisions are based on collective insights rather than individual preferences. Team members are encouraged to take a step back, reassess their viewpoints, and foster an environment where diverse ideas can flourish without the need for ego to lead the conversation.
Purpose, clarity, and an openness to new perspectives are woven into our everyday work. This part of our culture provides a clear framework for each of us to contribute meaningfully to our growth and drive forward our mission to be Europe’s most-loved online shopping destination.
