Q&A

What interested you in Rocket Software? 

What attracted me to Rocket Software was the sense of ownership and empowerment I experienced from day one. Beyond my engineering role, I felt encouraged to go above and beyond, influencing decisions, and creating a tangible impact. Rocket Software provided an environment where I could tackle challenging problems and continuously learn.

I value opportunities where I can think creatively and come up with solutions both professionally and personally. The emphasis on continuous learning and problem solving at Rocket Software aligns perfectly with my passion for bringing creative solutions to the toughest challenges.

Quel est l'un de vos plus beaux souvenirs de votre passage chez Rocket Software ?

One of my proudest moments has been building teams from scratch and expanding them across different regions. Over my five year journey with Rocket Software, I've seen significant growth, starting with just one person, and now leading a team of around 177 individuals.

The recognition and appreciation I've received along the way, from ownership of diverse product portfolio to expanded roles, have been constant sources of motivation for me. It's incredibly fulfilling when fellow Rocketeers approach me to express gratitude, ask a question, or simply say hello. These moments of recognition fill me with pride and inspire me to continue making a positive impact within the company.

Do you think Rocket Software’s core values of Empathy, Humanity, Trust and Love are unique from other companies? And how do you live by these in your day-to-day role? 

Rocket Software's values resonate deeply with fundamental human needs. While many companies prioritize values like being customer-driven, Rocket Software's emphasis on shared humanity creates a unique foundation for success. When I share these values with others, whether it's during interviews or casual conversations, they often express admiration, recognizing the profound difference they make in shaping our company culture.

In my role, I strive to embody these values in every interaction, both professionally and personally. For instance, I make it a point to engage with my colleagues beyond work-related discussions. I take time to listen to their concerns, celebrate successes, and understand what matters to them on a personal level. Whether it's over virtual tea times or casual lunch chats in the office, I create spaces for open dialogue and connection. These small gestures may seem insignificant, but they contribute to creating a culture where every individual feels valued, heard, and supported.
