Voice of our employee
"We have many exciting challenges. When you get a phone call, you never know if it is a question you have to answer or a task you have to take care of. Sometimes you have a rather hectic and unpredictable workday – but then again, that is also one of the reasons why it’s fun to go to work. No two days are alike."
