In the team, we have an informal atmosphere, where we enjoy balancing the professional everyday life with fun activities after working hours. This includes getting together in the team for activities such as padel tennis, fitness, dinners, boardgames – and everything in between. We are a team of young and innovative people who take pride in motivating, supporting and challenging each other. We are a mixed team of both student employees and fulltime employees which adds a great dynamic to the team.
