Vera Tiago, based in Portugal, has been with OutSystems for nearly 12 years, serving as a Manager in Developer Advocacy. Throughout her time at the company, Vera has seen the industry evolve while consistently being impressed by OutSystems' innovative approach and strong community of developers.
Before joining OutSystems, I worked at two small startups. At that point, I was eager to move to a larger company where I could work with new technology and learn from a broader range of people.
Initially, I expected a formal corporate environment, but I was pleasantly surprised by the incredible culture here. During my first few months, I often ran into the founders and senior leaders, and I was amazed that not only did they recognize me, but they were also humble enough to engage in casual conversations.
Over the years, as I met more people, I realized that OutSystems truly has some of the best minds in the world. It's truly inspiring to work alongside such talented individuals.
OutSystems has significantly contributed to my professional growth. I've learned a lot from the talented colleagues around me, who are always eager to share their expertise and insights.
Additionally, the opportunity to take on different roles across various departments over the past twelve years has allowed me to diversify my skill set. This exposure to different roles and responsibilities has not only broadened my abilities but also strengthened my adaptability.
Moreover, the supportive and innovative culture at OutSystems has encouraged my continuous learning, enabling me to adapt to new challenges and continue growing.
OutSystems makes me feel seen, valued, and supported by fostering a culture where everyone's contributions are recognized and appreciated.
The open-door policy and the accessibility of senior leaders give me the confidence to share my ideas and concerns, knowing they will be heard and respected.
The personal and professional support I receive from everyone around me ensures that I'm part of a community that genuinely cares about my well-being and success, making my daily experience both fulfilling and motivating.
Don't be afraid to ask questions! It is a crucial part of learning and growing. Asking questions shows you're engaged, curious, and eager to understand things more deeply. No matter how much experience you bring, there's always something new to learn, and embracing that mindset will set you up for success.
