My Story
During the past year, I served as the Integration and Quality Assurance Director, responsible for various strategy projects and products in the Cyber Intelligence domain. I am honored to say that I have 15 years of experience in the Cyber intelligence field which includes tens of successful mega project implementations across the globe. I joined the Romanian R&D center a year and a half ago. Adapting to a new country is not easy, especially with a family, but the amazing people around me made it as smooth as possible and I thank them for that. I fell in love with Romania and a big part of that is the amazing employees we have in our R&D center. Even though we are a global company and are mostly working remotely at the moment, we still make a lot of effort to create a family atmosphere, and I am very proud of the relationships our employees have with each other.

Covid-19 – adapting to this new normal
At the moment, about, 85% of our employees are working from home full-time, and those working from the office are doing so at their own request. The transition to working from home was very smooth and our teams have continued to be productive and engaged throughout this challenging time. We have adapted our recruitment and onboarding process to meet this challenging reality. It is not easy to join a new workplace by remote, and it is even harder to be a candidate. We have gathered some tips from our amazing recruitment team on how to shine in a virtual interview:
- Check the basics: Good internet connection and a respectful environment.
- Talk about the challenges you have encountered especially now during COVID-19, and how you overcame them.
- Clarify why you are changing your job, especially now.
- Be curious, ask questions about the company, from technology to vibes to how it is operating during the current situation.
- And most importantly - Be you! Show vulnerability, you can use humor, share personal details, have empathy and express your motivations".
We all look forward to a time where we can meet more in the offices and enjoy the chill-out corners where our teams get inspired with new mind-blowing solutions to shape the cyber intelligence world – and these corners are there and waiting for when we return to the office.
