Right from the recruitment process
When you’re a candidate applying for a job, one of your biggest fears is that you won’t get an answer quickly, or at all. When I applied for a job with Digiwin, the opposite happened. I applied one evening at 10.20pm and received a call the next morning at 9.45am.
The two interviews that followed went very well indeed! So much so, in fact, that I was overjoyed when I received THE phone call announcing my selection for the UX/UI designer position. Especially as it was announced on a Friday evening!
Welcomed even before starting work
It’s the first time this has happened to me in my professional life: to be invited to an event without yet being part of the company. I appreciated the approach taken by the branch manager, who invited me to a tech aperitif two weeks before my official integration. This enabled me to get to know my professional environment and get to know my future colleagues.
My first reassuring day
A first day at work in a new company and with new colleagues means a lot of changes and information to take in all at once. That’s why the lunch break was a lifesaver for me, as I was able to enjoy a moment of informal exchange with my new manager. For me, this was extremely welcome and very sympathetic.
By the end of my first day on the job, my apprehensions had vanished and I was reassured that my idea of the job, the working environment and the team matched my expectations in every respect.
Corporate culture and values
One of the most striking things I noticed in the first few days was the level of mutual support within Digiwin. When a colleague has a question about a problem they’re having, they ask for help, and automatically a spirit of emulation is created around the problem so that it can be solved. It’s great to be able to count on your colleagues if you run into a problem.
Review of my first three months with Digiwin
If there were just one word I’d use to sum up the past 2 months, it would be “confidence”. To sum up, the result expected of us is far more important than the means to achieve it.
