How did you come across AMEXIO as an employer?

A friend with whom I studied was already working at AMEXIO. When he noticed I was looking for a new job he suggested I should apply for a position here.
 

How would you describe your work at AMEXIO in three words?

Varied, sophisticated and “gezellig”!
 

What has surprised you the most within AMEXIO and why?

There is a lot of cohesion within and between the teams at AmeXio. Even though we work with different clients there is a lot of collaboration. We also have plenty of activities outside of work, from Game Nights to dinners and amusement park visits to movie nights. 
 

What tasks or activities do you get the most satisfaction from your work and why?

I always love it when I get a difficult problem to solve and drilled down to the solution. Like a service that somehow stopped working, or a new application that needs to be designed.
 

What is the best tip you’ve ever gotten from a colleague?

When dealing with a complex problem where you are not sure where the actual issue lies, start with listing facts. By listing facts you can make sure you are looking at the correct area of your project. Like, the database connection works, as this other call does give a response, or service X doesn’t log anything, meaning the issue lies before that service.
 

What anecdote or experience within AMEXIO has stuck with you to date and why?

During Covid-19 we had to start working from home. But to keep connected our team started doing daily lunch calls to keep some chatter alive. We’ve also moved the after-work drinks online as that one of the most important meetings of the week. That allowed us the keep in touch through the otherwise isolated period.
