"What I particularly like about update is the great team spirit that welds everyone together and promotes learning and personal development."
"I was integrated directly into the update team from the first day of my apprenticeship and entrusted with responsible tasks."
"A good work-life balance is very important to me personally. At update, I have the opportunity to organize my working hours flexibly and thus reconcile family and career."
"As a project manager, I am in constant contact with our customers. It's the partnership-based cooperation and the joint successes that make me enjoy my work every day."
"Communication at eye level is what makes my work successful. As a textile engineer, I know what my customers are looking for and can therefore support them quickly and competently."
"In order to develop personally and professionally, I completed a distance learning course in business informatics parallel to my work as a project manager at update. I always received full support from my colleagues; during the exam phases, they always had my back."
"The conception and realization of our customers' new requirements for our software always make our daily work varied and challenging. But above all: it never gets boring!"
