The amount of support b.ignited provides in all my professional endeavors is unmatched. In the time I’ve been here I’ve grown from a junior test automator who had never even written a unit test before into now leading a team of colleagues at a customer. Every day I come into work I’m welcomed by an environment which allows me to thrive and push myself. This in combination with the flat structure and the open communication from our management are some of the biggest factors why working at b.ignited is great and why I’m excited for what our future together will bring!
