Hello,
I’m Florian, a cross-platform developer at empower®. I've been here since the beginning of November 2018. I’m happy to be in a company with a clear vision.
Previously, as a full-stack developer in a web agency I was unhappy due to deadlocked processes and out-of-date development methods. So in summer 2018 I was looking for a new challenge and found empower®.
I was unsure if MS Office programming was the right thing for me. But the working atmosphere and the exciting technology stack at Made in Office appealed to me, so I took a chance.
OK, maybe the offices on the 40th floor influenced me just a bit: this feels like a contemporary working environment where motivated developers can flourish. Even during the initial induction, I realized that Made in Office is about much more than "just Office”. The projects are challenging and we’re continually creating new possibilities and approaches.
It's really fun to develop something that makes people’s everyday lives easier. As a developer it’s very important to me to personally identify with what I program and how it’ll work in the real world and not just code blindly.
Is there a catch? I haven't found one yet. Things are going great with my colleagues. The cross-team atmosphere has a real start-up feel. Whether in the canteen at lunch or together during a fitness course, the folks here are honest, trusting, and helpful. Just as you should expect from any employer.
And the view of Cologne really expands my horizons from up here on the 40th floor!
Florian
