I really like the fast pace, teamwork, colleagues, flexible schedule in my working place. Every day brings me a new challenge which can be exciting and unpredictable. Therefore, I keep learning on a daily basis.

 

What challenges were you faced with when you started? How did you overcome these challenges?

I have been the first international employee in the company. However, my boss and coworkers have been awesome integrating me into the small team. They are truly like a family and we are a great team. I really enjoy working with people who are excited about their professions.
