What were your first days at profiq like?
At first I was pretty shy and self-conscious. Everyone was very inviting and friendly and I made a lot of good friends early on. To this day, I spend a lot of my free time with colleagues from work.
What do you think is unique about profiq?
In my opinion, profiq is much more like the US companies/startups we work with than other Czech companies I have experienced. The leadership is quite flat and bottom-up, and if you have good ideas, you're encouraged to act on them. Also, we work with the most current technologies—not just on paper, but in actual code.
How has profiq helped you improve your skills?
I've been to several tech conferences, and we have monthly presentations about interesting technologies. We're encouraged to take time to study as part of the work week. What also helps is I'm surrounded by people who actually want to learn, and they are great resources.
