Everyone has issues and I had mine in corporate life. I was feeling lost like I was just a number amongst thousands of people. I didn’t know the goals of the company I worked for and sometimes I didn’t even really know whom I worked with, but I knew that I wanted to contribute more than I was. I wanted to improve the current state things were in, but all I heard was “do not waste your time”. When I left the world of working in a large corporation, one thing that I knew for certain was that I didn’t want to work in big corporations and be a small cog in a large machine.

In the first interview with our co-founder and CTO, Serhat, I told him about my concerns and feelings that I developed when working for a large corporation. I shared the ideas I had and what I wanted to create. I let him know that I wanted to learn new things. I said that I wanted to work for a company that gave me the opportunity to execute on my ideas but I also wanted to do it all AND be myself. Serhat heard me, and his response was one I won’t forget: “You are in the right place”. Now, I have been at intenseye for a year-and-a-half and I know that I am in the right place.

Intenseye creates an environment that is collaborative and has a team that is understanding and truly allows me to be myself. I am certain that someone is always there for me when I need help, teach me whatever it is I need to learn, and support me when I need it. I know that every piece that I contribute to the company will be appreciated. Working in this type of environment continues to motivate me and gives me the fuel I need to work on new or existing projects.

When I look back and think about the intenseye team, I cannot believe how much I love each one of them and how much I enjoy working with them. It’s really great to be a member of a team that considers your needs.

Apart from all the reasons I have listed - we have this huge mission. We are saving lives! I am so proud of the job that I am doing. It’s amazing to know that our platform could potentially save somebody’s life and for that reason alone, it makes me even more motivated. We are growing day by day. I cannot wait to see our culture spread to every new teammate when they join our Journey to Zero.
