The New Kid on the Block: Christopher

Introducing yet another new addition to the XING family. This time round, Christopher looks back on his XING story so far:

Christopher (Engineering): I started at XING as Junior Manager Engineering two months ago and when I look back on my first week in the job it feels as though it was the steepest learning curve I’ve ever experienced! I have never been confronted with so many new terms in such a short time, had to take in so much new information and meet so many new faces. I was really impressed by just how qualified and skilled my colleagues are. It’s amazing just how good my team is. And I don’t get treated like the baby although I’m the youngest by far – they always take my suggestions and ideas as seriously as anyone else. We all work together: My superior sits two desks away from me and their superior sits another four desks along – which makes for a pleasant and communicative atmosphere within the team. We’re all friends with each other too and often stay a little longer in the evenings to play a round of table football together. XING is a diverse and cool place to work, and I think its really fitting that the office is located in a city like Hamburg. There are so many different characters working here under the same roof who all get on with one another despite these differences. I couldn’t imagine XING being based in Munich…
