From my time at scandiweb I have learned that there is nothing you cannot handle - no matter how complicated things can seem at the moment, there will always be a solution.
Svitlana Madei, Project Manager from Ukraine. Joined the company on 6/5/2022
I joined as a Junior Project Manager and just started my EDU courses. In a few weeks, I got my first project, and in four months - I became the main Project Manager for a project with a multi-billion dollar company. Then I grew to senior level.
I like to learn new things, and scandiweb is a great provider of such opportunities. Now, my biggest challenge is to be a great AI Lead - building cool tools internally and helping our clients to stay on top of the game.
