Based on the level of your autonomy, your control and your skills you will have the chance to grow within your team and/or the company itself.
Homeworking
We know that homeworking is a must nowadays. However when several people work on the same project the office remains the best option for interactions, ideas and pieces of advice sharing. Same for the coaching which is essential during the first months.
Once you have become more autonomous you will apply for one or two days per week at home.
