Around a month ago our Quality Assurance team attended the EuroSTAR Conference about software testing in Stockholm. 🧪 Curious to read some of their thoughts about and takeaways from it? Don't miss out on our interview with one of our Junior QAs Julia Finucane below 🤩 - Hello there Julia! Who are you and what are you up to at BookBeat? 👋 I started as an intern but now I work as a Junior QA in the App team. So far I’ve been part of testing and delivering lots of new features, for example our ✨new fancy audio player✨, the re-design of the Apple Watch app, badges on books and My Statistics! - You recently participated in the EuroSTAR conference with the rest of BookBeat’s QA team. First things first, how was it? 🚀 It was exiting!🤩 Listening to experts and other professionals in the industry was both interesting and thought-provoking. Going with the rest of the QA team made the experience even better. - What were your main takeaways? AI is a hot topic and the opinions about it go both ways! 😉 I also heard quite a lot of people talking about how testing wasn't really prioritized or valued at their workplaces, which made me grateful to work at a company that truly prioritizes and values testing and other quality assurance work! 💜 - What was the best part about participating in the conference? The discussions it sparked in our team. We have a list of buzzwords, techniques and topics to explore and discuss further during the autumn that I look forward to. 🍂 Thank you Julia, happy to hear you had a great time! 💜

A few months ago, we introduced the 'Team Office Budget' concept! This means that each team can decorate their own office area as they wish 🌟 First up is our creative content team! Just look at the color-popping and cozy corner they've created 🤩From planning to purchasing, from refurbishing to adding those final touches, the team pulled together to transform the space. They even painted the pillars in our BookBeat brand colors 🎨 And the neon sign? Well, that's a globe-trotting tale on its own. Ordered from the UK, delivered to Berlin, and then hand-carried on a train to Sweden. Talk about teamwork!💜

A couple of weeks ago, Team People Operations and Team IT Operations came together for a super fun summer activity 💜 Can you think of a better way to spend the afternoon/evening than cooking and savoring delicious Italian food with amazing company? 🍝😋 Thank you Al Dente for a great session!

🚀At BookBeat, we’re all about growing together! Competency development is very important to us, and we embrace it in many ways. One exciting way is through internal rotations. An example of this is our Senior Backend Developer Nazgol Azizi Gerholm, who recently rotated to another team within our organization. 💜 Curious about her latest adventure and how she's finding the experience so far? Check this little interview out! 🙌 - Who are you and what are you up to at BookBeat? I'm Nazgol Gerholm, a backend developer at BookBeat for the past 2.5 years. Until recently, I worked on the Subscriptions team, handling everything related to subscriptions and payments. Now, I have rotated to another team working with the content available in our app. - You’ve recently rotated to another team in our tech organization. How has the rotation been so far? It's been very smooth! It's like a lighter version of starting a new job. Same company, different wonderful colleagues to work with, and another part of the business with new technologies and business aspects to learn. Everyone on the new team has been taking care of me, making sure I feel welcome! - What’s the culture at BookBeat like, in your opinion? The first things that come to mind are that the culture at BookBeat is warm, welcoming, and inclusive. People are innovative and aren't afraid to try new ideas. Everyone makes sure to share their knowledge, and I have learned so many new things, both tech and non-tech! - Summer is here in Sweden! Do you have any plans for the upcoming months yet? I'm going to travel around east Canada and then enjoy the beautiful (and hopefully warm) summer in Sweden. I will definitely eat lots of ice cream and strawberries!
