“Everyone is allowed to grow at their own pace and on whatever aspects their interests lie. In my own case, after only half a year at Channable, I was given the opportunity to take ownership of a new project I showed interest in. As an employee I feel cared for, and during these hard Corona times, knowing Channable has my back is very important for me.”
– Miquel, Software Engineer at Channable.
