  • Your transition into the new work environment will be facilitated by a mentor from your area, who will introduce you to the company culture and gradually involve you in new responsibilities through smaller initial tasks.
  • As the Greek saying goes, "a healthy mind in a healthy body," we foster a relaxed daily work environment, offering office and remote work options and flexible working hours to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
