#MuchMoreThanJustAJob

An early morning start at Campo 24 de Agosto. In just 4 minutes, you’ll be clocked in at the office. After grabbing a cup of coffee and some fresh fruit, pick up your laptop and choose your spot for the day. You have a busy day ahead: a French lesson before lunch and, just after, a quick medical appointment at the Natixis doctor's office.

You’ll take your lunch break on the large terrace (check out your crops at the Urban Garden; they're ready to harvest!) or, if you feel like getting some exercise, walk downtown for lunch.

After lunch, you’ll have a fast sprint review (and virtually wish Happy Birthday to the colleague in Paris who just turned 35). The afternoon will fly by with tasks, reports, calls, and some jokes with your teammates. End the day on a high note: maybe with a PlayStation game or the final match of the ping-pong tournament.

Tomorrow, you’ll complete that certified technical training and the day after, you’ll work from home, taking advantage of the opportunity to finally do that online course on Udemy.
