How did you end up working with LVS Brokers?
- I was found on LinkedIn based on my previous experience. I have a background in sales and operations management on financial market so I was a good fit. I believe people should always stay open for opportunities and when I was told about this particular one and when I went through the company’s profile, I knew that this is the place for me. I had a nice Skype interview during my honeymoon and after that I was invited to meet our CEO in person. One word to another and here I am.
How long have you been working with LVS Brokers?
- I started in October 2018 so not so long ago, but like never before I am certain that it was a good choice.
What’s the best thing about your job?
- I like challenges and being responsible, and my position is exactly like this. Also, besides using my experience, I can develop myself faster than ever. This gives me the sense of fulfilment. LVS has put a lot of trust in me, and now it’s time for repayment.
How does LVS Brokers differ from other workplaces and employees?
- I will start with the onboarding here! After the first 5 days of being in the company I really felt like I am part of the team. Great team with fascinating people. Everybody has positive approaches and are experts in their field. Another thing is values! Long story short – keep it professional and get shit done. It is simple and effective. That’s how it’s supposed to be.
What is it like working with a Finnish company? Are there any big differences in the Finnish and Polish way of working?
- Oh yes, there are differences. There are obvious facts like legal differences that both sides need to learn, but there are also differences in bureaucracy. I don’t know why but in Poland we like to complicate stuff. Signing a deal takes way longer than in Finland. There are way more documents and even more people have to sign them. In Finland you can seal a deal with a handshake. Of course I am exaggerating but that is the feeling.
What would you like to say to people who are considering applying to work with LVS Brokers?
- Hurry up! Opportunities like this don’t grow on trees. Grab it and use it!
