Getting things done effectively in a startup requires total individual and team accountability. You can’t afford excuses and multiple people doing the same job. In my view, “taking responsibility” is the core element behind accountability.

As a subsidiary of these larger companies, Olymp Trade specializes in smaller trades, rather than the bigger ticket trades.

After all, there is always a company to pollute a lake and kill all its fish, and another to earn tons of money by committing insurance fraud. To sum up: there are many bad guys around.
