Who We Are

Getting a job at Astound was easy, but an essential part of the hiring process was passing a technical interview. After the onboarding process, I joined the project team and got a lot of practical experience. As of today, I feel a tremendous professional growth through the challenging and interesting projects. At the same time, it is easier to improve your performance when you have a good functional manager and an HR who motivates, encourages you and helps you to solve any issues.

I enjoy sporting events at Astound because they are really awesome. Not only the corporate competitions in various sports that are interesting, but also the regular trainings. Boosting our motivation and morale, they improve networking and give a great chance to get to know people you work with from a new facet.

Working in Astound Commerce is a great opportunity for me to learn about different cultures and customs. As I am located in Colombia, I work with people from several countries such as the USA, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Ukraine and it is a great chance to create strong bonds of friendship with all of them. The global environment and the team’s cultural diversity enriches the project with the diverse contexts and more creative ideas.

As a UX Designer, I’m happy to say that there are tons of absolutely different practical tasks in our projects. We work on business goals and customer needs in close cooperation with the colleagues from all Astound Commerce departments around the globe, which allows us to gain knowledge from many areas. It can be challenging, but we can state that it is the best way to grow professionally.

I would say that in the first place this is about people with whom I work from day to day. I want to be useful, and the teamwork really drives my passion. Then it’s the desire to create something cool and valuable, to be proud that I am or have been involved in this: starting from the processes and artefacts that are being used on our projects and ending with the final solutions which we deliver.
