Medical Aid via Discovery is also covered [South Africa - make this regional], with the additional perk of Healthy Company as our Employee Assistance Programme (Mental, Physical, Legal and Financial Wellbeing). What do people say about working here? We have a diverse, family-orientated team where failure is allowed. We fail fast and aim to succeed even quicker.
