We have fun, excited people who are trying their best to help people and at the same time grow into becoming that person who can influence the world in a positive direction. It's about the main goal, and not being recognized yourself - which is why any disagreement we have, turns out in a positive energy. The power of trying to get YSI to do the most good, is vital! We have found a great spot in Greenhouse, with a gaming room, ping pong, garden on the roof, (A ROOF), and other cool companies from all fields imaginable.At the same time, we work with teams in Bangladesh, South-East Asia, and China. Extremely different cultures, who also have the same goal as us. This is both hard and exciting at the same time.
