Working remotely now, when business isn’t as usual, is more important than ever before. Until recently a remote work model was favored only in some lines of work, but today companies are trying to adapt their operations to a fast-changing world. So, amid the pandemic in 2020, we found ourselves moving our offices to our homes and embracing remote work options together along with remote hiring.

Julia joined Avenga as a Digital Consultant in May 2019. Julia has already experienced quite a lot: for example, she was involved in a research project in which she conducted interviews with women about life in Saudi Arabia.

In 2019, at the seventh Woodhack, our annual hackathon in the countryside, we got together to once again realize project ideas away from our daily work routine. Woodhack projects are particularly exciting because you can leave your screen and go and work on concrete, “real” objects.
