What Does It Mean to Stay?

In today’s fast-moving world, staying with a company for years—three, five, or even seven—isn’t just a number. It’s a story. A story of challenge, connection, purpose and growing together. This spring, we are excited to celebrate the work anniversaries of nine incredible team members, whose milestones reflect trust built, lessons learned, and memories made 🎉

We asked these long-tenured colleagues to share their thoughts on their journey in the Youniverse—to explore what makes staying here meaningful for them. Their answers were honest, thoughtful, and full of heart.

🛠️ Building Something Together 🤝

Some of our long-tenured team members have been with Younium since the early days, others joined along the way, but all have played a key role in shaping our success and the culture that defines who we are today. 

"I joined Younium because I saw it as a company that strikes the right balance between stability and challenge through change, offering opportunities for growth. I had also heard great things about the company from my network." - Dragana, Senior Project Manager

“Taking on the challenging journey with a small startup to ensure quality standards would be met was an exciting opportunity.” - Andrzej, SaaS Quality Assurance Senior Specialist 

"I liked the idea of being part of something from the beginning, building things up, and taking on real challenges where I could make a difference. [...] It's been a fun and exciting journey to see the company grow ” - Johan, Back-End Developer 

“With Younium I saw a product with great potential and a very capable team. [...] The fact that we’re constantly growing as a company makes it almost become a new company every year, which means facing new challenges and opportunities all the time which is an environment I truly thrive in.” - Joel, Head of Solutions 

These stories reflect a shared appreciation for making a difference — because at Younium, every contribution is truly valued.

At Younium, there’s always room to learn and evolve, which has been a key factor in keeping our team engaged and motivated. Several of our work anniversary celebrants mentioned how much they value the chance to work on diverse projects, and face challenges that push them to grow both personally and professionally.

“I have stayed with Younium all these years because I get to constantly develop. Our solution is exciting, but also challenging since we’re part of a big ecosystem, connecting with global platforms like CRMs and ERPs.” - Sam, Commercial Director 

"The work is both diverse and challenging - I’ve collaborated with a wide range of interesting customers, and no two projects have been quite the same! Overall, I’ve learned so much since joining Younium, with each new responsibility helping me grow" - Iida, Senior Project Manager 

“I experience growth daily when I see thousands of error-free invoices generated through our application. Having personally refactored and fixed the invoicing workflow gives me immense pride in my contributions.” - Andrzej 

“I think my favorite memories are all these little moments of success and growth over the years, company and personal, that makes the memories – a large project launch, signing the biggest customer, successfully trying new ways and overcoming challenges – when I come to think of it it’s really all the times where we’ve come together as a team and succeeded.” - Joel 

“My biggest growth moment was probably when I changed my role to Head of IT security and focused on keeping the company compliant with the security certifications previously acquired.” - Marvin, Cloud Operation manager & Head of Security

"I remember my first bigger deal. I had initially lost it to a competitor but they came back shortly after to join the Younium family" - Eric, Senior Account Executive 

"My favorite memory at Younium is probably stepping into a manager role and getting to recruit, onboard, and coach new colleagues. I mean, seeing someone grow and succeed was such a nice feeling." - Sam 

At Younium, growth is about developing new skills, overcoming challenges, and finding pride in the work you do every day.

⏰ Flexibility and Trust 🌟

Many team members have also pointed to the flexibility that comes with their roles as a reason they continue to value being part of the Youniverse. 

“I value the trust and flexibility I have in managing my own work and choosing where I work from.” - Iida, 

"The biggest perk for me is the incredible flexibility in choosing where and when to work, allowing me to maintain a great work-life balance." - Dragana

"The freedom and personal responsibility make the work meaningful." - Johan 

At Younium, we uphold the core value of Accountability, where we take ownership of our roles and responsibilities, pushing ourselves to excel. It is this sense of accountability that enables our flexible work culture, empowering employees in their autonomy to manage their schedules and find a healthy balance between work and life.

💫The People, the Culture, and the Moments That Matter 👥

Last but not least, a strong, supportive culture and a sense of shared purpose have made the journey meaningful for so many of our team members—and are a big part of why they stayed.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with kind, talented, and supportive colleagues, and have made some great friends too - which has been especially important to me as I was pretty new to Sweden when I joined Younium. [...] It felt like a place with a great company culture, where teamwork is truly valued, and where there's a healthy balance between working hard and having fun” - Iida 

“The fact that I can see the results of my work on a day-to-day basis is one of the reasons I’ve stayed with Younium, the people that I’m working with are a major factor too, and the trust from Younium’s management team.” - Marvin

"What made me stay with Younium are the fun and ambitious culture, continuous development, and amazing colleagues!" - Jacqueline, HR Business Partner

“The team, my manager, the product – but also the companies we are selling to are fantastic and fun to work with - these are reasons I stayed with Younium.” - Eric 

And for many, the moments we come together and share experiences are the most memorable ones:

"My favorite Younium memories are all company kickoffs we’ve had over the years! Croatia, Ystad, and Amsterdam, to mention a few. These moments are beautiful memories." - Jacqueline  

"One of my best memories at Younium has to be our kick-off in Amsterdam last year! [...] It was a reminder of how strong our culture is, even across borders, and it left me feeling really energized and proud to be part of the team!" - Iida 

At Younium, it’s not just about the work—it’s about the people we work with and the memories we create together.

To Iida, Eric, Dragana, Jacqueline, Andrzej, Sam, Marvin, Joel and Johan, thank you. We are so proud to call you a part of the Youniverse. Here’s to everything we’ve built—and everything still to come 🎉
