Freedom is important
The freedom you get is very important according to Maroucha. She gives the example of sprint ritmes in her team. The sprints consist of three weeks. And within this period of time results have to be realized. "In other words, you can decide for yourself when and how you work. As long as the goals and targets are achieved." At the end of a sprint Evelien is pride: "The proud feeling you get on the moment things go well because you delivered and achieved a goal".
Within Essent Evelien and her team are responsible for a part of the IT landscape. "This means that we get the responsibility and the trust of the company that we manage that part according to the expectations. We are a kind of small organization within the big Essent. This means I can perform with an entrepreneurial spirit within my own projects."
