What do you like most about your role?

I love the challenges and opportunities that FactoryPal offers. My colleagues trust and guide me through everything, which is major benefit for my personal expertise and growth.

What attracted you to working at FactoryPal? 

I was most attracted by FactoryPal’s hybrid culture that comes with the freedom and innovation of a startup, but also with the safety of a strong and established group. Also, I absolutely love working in a multicultural team with colleagues from all over the world.  

When you’re not at work, what can we find you doing?
