The Pop in Your Job

Information Technology is a relatively new scientific domain in comparison to established fields like e.g. physics  and many more. It pushes and/or enables changes in industry in a very fast way and thereby influences a broad spectrum of aspects in a company like e.g. manufacturing technologies or organizational culture. The possibility to participate in this rapid change in a company with highly motivated employees from all over the world, to actively try out new things and thus being part of the fourth industrial revolution is an outstanding chance and makes me passionate about my job every day.
