Life at
BlaBlaCar
Thrive in a flexible environment
The 6 principles we believe in
Discover the six BlaBlaPrinciples that act as a compass guiding our
behaviours and decisions across our offices worldwide.
To understand our members better and have empathy for their needs, we must be on the road with them. We are active users of our service and members of our community.
We make a point of learning and growing collectively as a team. We build internal knowledge, share learnings across teams and with the rest of the ecosystem.
Innovation is about taking risks and accepting that failure is part of the story. Everyone is encouraged to take calculated risks, and to openly communicate their failures, big or small, so we can collectively learn and be stronger as a result.
We dared to dream of a travel solution that didn’t exist. With dreaming comes a time to make bold decisions, and the diligence to deliver. This is how we structure our decision-making.
Being lean means that as a company, we manage our resources efficiently to sustain our long-term growth. In our product, we aim for simplicity to offer a seamless user and travel experience.
When you take what you do at heart, and work seriously, there is room for everyone to have fun together. We take fun very seriously.

Impact Day
Our Impact Day is about working together to make a positive social and environmental impact, (re)connecting with each other and with our local communities.
Once a year, our employees around the world step outside from the office, get inspired, learn new sustainable practices, and roll up their sleeves by participating in impactful projects across an entire day.
BlaBlaTalks and CEO Talks
Every month, we get together for the BlaBlaTalk where teams share their latest projects with the rest of the company. And every quarter, we receive an update from our CEO on how the company is going and what's ahead.
Office activities
There's never a dull moment at BlaBlaCar! Our offices buzz with a wide range of activities, from regular favorites like BlaBlaBreakfast and BlaBlaGarden, Pot Tech Afterworks to Yoga & Zumba classes. We also host special seasonal and quarterly events, such as our Spring Party and Back to School Party. There's always something exciting happening.
Be the member
Once a year, we dedicate a full day to test our product around the globe and 'Be The Member'. Our teams hit the road as passengers or drivers and gather invaluable feedback to help our product team improve our carpool and bus services.
Be the Impact
Onboarding weeks & welcome days
Be the Impact is a dynamic partnership between BlaBlaCar and Vendredi to allow all our employees to engage in volunteer work and create an impact during their working hours. On a global scale, our team members have the opportunity to collaborate with the Red Cross and support their vital humanitarian efforts. Additionally, at each local site, employees can work with local NGOs that they voted for.
Every 2 weeks, we organize a Welcome Day to welcome 'newbies' joining the company. The day is full of onboarding sessions and a Welcome Breakfast for new employees to get to know their managers, their teams, and fellow newbies. And, every 2 months, incoming newbies take part in Onboarding Weeks, where they get 2 weeks to mingle and understand the company's different aspects.

BlaBla Planet is our most recently formed ERG with the focus on sustainability in different aspects of the company. The goal is to reduce the ecological impact of our offices, increase awareness around sustainability, reduce the ecological impact of our operations, and measure and reduce the CO2 footprint of our IT.
Our employee resource group, Women & Supporters, aims to create a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace for women and gender minorities at BlaBlaCar by building a trusted community, raising awareness on gender equality and obstacles women face in the workplace, and supporting their growth in the organization.
