What attracted you to HiQ, and what makes you enjoy working here today?
When I first read about HiQ, I was drawn to the way the culture was described – it felt genuine and aligned with my own values. I wanted to be at a workplace that had both drive and heart. What has made me stay is the sense of community and my colleagues – it’s hard to beat the feeling of working with people who are both highly skilled and fun to spend time with.
Can you tell us about an assignment through HiQ that has been particularly educational or exciting?
In my role as a web developer, I was part of the team that developed the new external website for the University of Gävle. It was both a challenging and fun project, and thanks to such an engaged and driven client, the whole process became easier and more inspiring. The fact that the website has since been recognized and won awards feels like a great confirmation of the work we did together.
How would you describe the team spirit and culture here?
For me, it’s all about balance – joy, community, and professionalism. We take our work seriously, but we do it with a smile and a feeling that we lift each other up. Doing a great job simply becomes more fun when you know you have a team around you that has your back.
What inspires you most in your work right now?
Right now, it’s the feeling of growth. I constantly get the chance to challenge myself, learn new things, and improve at what I do. That’s very inspiring!
Share something about yourself that your colleagues might not know!
I love treating myself on weekends with freshly baked scones for breakfast. It’s almost become a little tradition – nothing beats the smell of fresh bread on a calm Saturday morning.
