Meet Alexandru, Associate Software Engineer, MobilePay
“Most of my tasks revolve around developing the software and implementing business functionalities. So, either enhancing the MobilePay performance or adding new features. All of the projects we are working on generate different types of tasks, and so each of them includes some research that adds diversity to our work. No two tasks are the same and I really enjoy that – it never gets boring. I enjoy my team; I have very talented coworkers so I’m learning new stuff every day. I’m the only international in my team, and that is actually pretty cool. I feel lucky that I landed in a team that is so curious about my culture, my country and myself. I first thought that the language might be a barrier, but my team is very good at switching to English when needed – I do know a little bit of Danish so they are very supportive and have a lot of patience when I ask them to talk in Danish because I really want to learn it. I feel very included thanks to them. We had the chance to customize our team name, so officially we are called ‘User Core’ but internally we are called the ‘User Squad’. We have our own mini-brand, logo, and everything inspired by the DC comic Suicide Squad, which is quite fun!”

“I started here as an intern, then a student worker and now I work a full-time job. It was great through all the stages. When I started at Danske Bank, I was a student, and as a student, you are learning and you are sometimes hesitant, but there is always someone who encourages you and would like to hear your opinion. At Danske Bank, they trust, that we have something to offer. That resulted in both personal and technical development for me. The project I’m working on now is a login and signature solution. We authenticate and authorize costumers for other departments. It’s a great project that uses the standard protocols of OpenID Connect and OAuth2 that you may know from login with Google, Facebook, etc. There is generally a lot of trust in all the processes, and with that trust of course comes responsibility. It was interesting, that I got that responsibility from – I would say – the first days. I’ve always felt that I can contribute and that there is a lot of value in what I do. I feel really lucky that I get to work at Danske Bank, it’s a great environment, and I really see myself as part of the family. I love what I do at Danske Bank, and that gives me so much motivation.”

“I have been working at Danske Bank for three years. It’s really great, working here – it is a lot of fun! Currently, I’m working on implementing and delivering digital solutions in different areas, that help improve the daily life of our customers. It ranges from tools to applications to investment solutions. I’m working in a team where everyone can pick up the responsibility for different parts of the project, which makes us very flexible and able to deliver the right solutions faster. I think it’s great working in teams like this because everyone has different knowledge in different areas, so we complete and supplement each other’s skills very well. One of the great things about Danske Bank is, that I get to work in a multicultural environment. So, you learn a lot about different cultures not only from a professional perspective but also develop yourself culturally as well.”

“I have continued through student job, internship and now a full-time job here at Danske Bank because I wanted to learn more and continue my journey in the banking world. It’s a very interesting domain because we all have financial needs, and there is a lot of potential to transform banking so it becomes more human, easy and understandable for everyone. I have colleagues from different countries like India, Lithuania, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. So, there are a lot of different cultures and competences, and the mix of those people and being able to work with all of them is very interesting. My colleagues have a lot of respect for what I am doing and my cultural background. I feel very included in the departments and teams because people are so open-minded.”
