When arriving at ASP, I tried to adapt at the beginning, to see how the collaboration would be. I was surprised to see how the welcome was nice and all communication very fluent. I directly jumped on a project. I didn’t feel like my Bulgarian origin was a problem for my colleagues. The main language is English so it’s very easy and helpful, and also the whole documentation is in English as well as the emails. It was taken into account that I’m not speaking French or Dutch fluently to I wasn’t put in an uncomfortable situation. Here, the culture is different because colleagues are reachable and helpful. Inside the working environment, we can discuss your current job but also your personal things happening in your life. I always found help in the HR teams to translate things, or sign, even if wasn’t always related to work.
