Flavia | 23 | software developer

Please introduce yourself briefly: Who are you and how did you come to iSYS?

My name is Flavia, I was born in Munich and have been with iSYS since March 2021. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Media Informatics this May and will be starting my Master’s degree in Management and Digital Technologies at LMU in October.

After graduating from high school, I initially started studying sociology, but dropped out after a month because I realised that studying humanities wasn’t for me. Instead, I started working in an education technology start-up as a content marketing manager and project assistant and quickly became interested in the software projects they were working on. I then decided to study media informatics at LMU because of the higher proportion of women and the link to human-machine interaction.

I came to iSYS through the best friend of my flatmate’s brother at the time. He had worked at iSYS for a while and told me nothing but good things about the team and the working atmosphere and then put me in touch with the head of HR. In the middle of the lockdown, I had my job interview in December 2020 and finally started my job as a working student in March 2021. At that time, it was also still lockdown and I was very happy to be one of the few people who could come into the office almost every day, along with another new working student. Since September 2022, I have been working part-time 16 hours a week.

What are your tasks at iSYS?

I am currently working on a customer project at GEMA, where I am supporting the team with front-end development. In the past, however, I have already had various tasks, e.g. I have also worked on the further development of a webshop in the backend or designed an approach for sustainable UI/UX improvement with the help of UI tracking tools.

What excites you most about your job?

What excites me the most is the problem solving that you are confronted with every day. It’s part of a developer’s everyday life that the code doesn’t work the way you imagined at the beginning and then you have to find out why and how to make it work. Sometimes you have to have a high tolerance for frustration, but when it finally works, it’s all the better. As a developer, you never stop learning, as technologies are constantly changing. I also find it particularly exciting when a new customer requirement comes along and you start to create concepts for a new technical solution.

What can new team members expect when they join iSYS?

A very familiar and pleasant working atmosphere. Everyone here is on a first-name basis and there is little evidence of hierarchies in everyday life. You can also look forward to various projects with long-standing customers and lots of team activities. New software developers first go to the iSYS Academy, where improvements are made to various internal applications in an agile environment with each sprint. This offers a great opportunity to familiarise yourself with the technologies used within the company and makes it easier to settle into the company.

What do you do in your free time?

In my free time, I love to cook or go out with friends. I also like to spend my time doing sports such as Pilates or yoga and taking long walks or trips into the Munich area to get some exercise. But when I need some peace and quiet, I also like to sit in front of the TV and watch a series or play games on the Nintendo Switch.

Meet The Team: Marco

Marco | BI Consultant

Please introduce yourself briefly: Who are you and how did you come to iSYS?

I was born in Augsburg and studied information-orientated business administration there, as I’ve always been a numbers person. At that time, I had planned to start my career in finance or banking, but a job fair led me into controlling. During my three years in Controlling at a holding company, the thing I enjoyed most was automating the processes, some of which were still very manual. Analyses and reports in particular were mostly created ad hoc, which is why the decision was made to introduce a BI tool. I was so enthusiastic about the whole project, from the POC to the finished dashboards, that I wanted to continue working in this area.

What are your tasks at iSYS?

I work in the Business Intelligence team as a BI consultant. I am currently supporting an external customer project. A large retail chain wants to implement its reports in the areas of finance and HR in Qlik Sense. First of all, a current inventory of the existing implementation had to be made, on the basis of which a roadmap for the project was then drawn up. With the help of the specialist departments, the data for P&L or contribution margin accounting, for example, was then prepared and the structure of the reports defined. The be-all and end-all for the end user is of course a user-friendly interface, which is currently being tested for usability by the users. The next step is to introduce a comprehensive company-wide authorisation concept at department and cost centre level. I am also involved in a number of internal projects, such as the development of a dashboard for project profitability.

What excites you most about your job?

What I find most exciting about working as a BI consultant is actually the diversity. On the one hand, you have to have a certain basic understanding of business management in order to understand the customer’s requirements and implement a suitable BI solution. On the other hand, technical expertise in the field of IT is also required, for example with regard to IT infrastructure, data pipelines or SQL. Last but not least, frequent communication with the customer is of course a key factor in the success of the project. This also creates a certain amount of variety: if you get stuck with something, you can always get help from your helpful iSYS colleagues.

What can new team members expect when they join iSYS?

I felt at home at iSYS right from the start. That started with the introductory meeting on site, where all colleagues offered their help if I had any questions. Overall, the collegial atmosphere at iSYS is excellent, both among colleagues and with managers. They treat you as equals and always have an open ear for concerns of any kind. iSYS has a wide range of different customers, so there are always new and exciting projects on the horizon. If you need a break from work, you can meet up for a coffee in the lounge and chat with colleagues from other departments. It’s also possible to work remotely from home, which of course saves me a lot of time and money as an Augsburg commuter.

What do you do in your free time?

I am at home outdoors. In summer, I spend a lot of time in the mountains, hiking or biking. In winter, I make sure I get to the piste as often as possible for snowboarding or skiing. Next year, I have planned a project to convert my VW Caddy into a mini campervan so that I can go on weekend trips as easily as possible. I also love travelling 🙂

Meet The Team: Tom

In our ‘Meet The Team’ section, we regularly introduce our employees. Get to know the people behind the screens and gain personal insights into their tasks and projects.

Tom | 39 years old | DevOps Engineer

Please introduce yourself briefly: Who are you and how did you come to iSYS?

Hello, my name is Tom and I do a lot of sport in my spare time. In summer, I usually go mountain biking in different variations, in winter I can be found on touring skis. I came to iSYS as part of my studies, at some point you have to do an internship – the practical semester has to be completed. Since then, I’ve felt quite at home here. At the beginning, Munich was of course quite big compared to Regensburg, but you quickly get used to it. The best thing about Munich is that it’s so close to the mountains, you can always be in the countryside.

What are your tasks at iSYS?

My area of responsibility at iSYS consists of a lot of creative freedom. Since this year, it has been DevOps topics in the cloud with Kubernetes. Before that, it was setting up and maintaining the test and build infrastructure with older technologies, if possible via automation. There were also various topics in the area of quality assurance.

What excites you most about your job?

The freedom to organise, you can assign and carry out topics yourself within the framework, provided that corresponding deadlines and allocations in the team are adhered to.

What can new team members expect when they join iSYS?

A friendly team and flat hierarchies, the door to the boss is almost always open. There are also office dogs.

What do you do in your free time?

See above. 🙂

Meet The Team: Lisa

In our “Meet The Team” section, we regularly introduce our employees. Get to know the people behind the screens and gain personal insights into their tasks and projects.

Lisa | Apprentice IT specialist for application development

Please introduce yourself briefly: Who are you and how did you come to iSYS?

I’m Lisa, 25, and I’m currently in the 2nd year of my IT specialist apprenticeship. I came across iSYS via a careers portal, and after a brief research into the company, I applied here too. A personal meeting finally convinced me. (and apparently iSYS was also impressed by me 😉 )

What are your tasks at iSYS?

I am currently in the Academy team and involved in the development of a new internal application. My focus there is on front-end development in particular, and until three weeks ago I was also the team’s Scrum Master.

What excites you most about your job?

Learning something new every day and always ‘having’ to face new challenges. So it never gets boring and you never stop learning. It’s also a great feeling when you can finally see your results (sometimes after days of tinkering).

What can new team members expect when they join iSYS?

A great team! Lots of nice colleagues, everyone is always ready to help. That’s great, especially when you’re still learning and everything is new. We also help each other a lot in the Academy, but when tricky problems arise, it often only helps to ask an experienced developer.

What do you do in your free time?

I like running (I’ll be back at the start of the next B2Run!), sewing and knitting. Of course, my interest in software development doesn’t stop at work either 😉

Meet The Team: Uli

In our “Meet The Team” section, we regularly introduce our employees. Get to know the people behind the screens and gain personal insights into their tasks and projects.

Uli | Full Stack Developer

Please introduce yourself briefly: Who are you and how did you come to iSYS?

I was born in Munich, but started my professional career in Saarland. In 1999, I moved to Frankfurt am Main to join DENIC eG as a software developer. I stayed there for almost 20 years, but in 2018 I wanted to return to Munich for personal reasons. I then applied to various companies and iSYS was my favourite of all the options. On the one hand, because I wanted to work in a project-orientated environment with different customers, and on the other hand because it was a good fit both in terms of people and the values it communicated.

What are your tasks at iSYS?

I work in the “Technology Lab / R&D” business unit. Accordingly, I deal a lot with innovations and the necessary architecture concepts. Specifically, this means that I work on research projects that cover areas such as IoT, machine learning/AI, distributed computing, geocoding and visualisation. At the same time, I also support smaller customers who want to bring projects in these areas to market maturity. Finally, I have also recently started mentoring new employees and endeavour to impart knowledge both within and outside the company.

What excites you most about your job?

I really like the versatility, I can still learn a lot here. I also find it remarkable that the values of the company are really lived by all the colleagues I have had the pleasure of working with so far. You could say that iSYS presented itself in the application process exactly as it is in the end. I feel I am in the right place here.

What can new team members expect when they join iSYS?

It certainly depends on their previous knowledge – when a supposedly old hand like me joins the company, they are of course thrown in at the deep end and you can expect them to swim. I think that’s fine if you can always talk to someone if you need to, which was and is definitely the case for me.
Of course, it’s a completely different story for career starters. We have an unusual organisation here in the form of the Academy, which has already been reported on a lot elsewhere.

In any case, everyone can rely on finding an appreciative environment.

What do you do in your free time?

Together with my wife, I run a small pharmacy museum – the Apothekarium. I also enjoy travelling in the mountains and playing golf and table tennis.

Meet The Team: Flo

In our “Meet The Team” section, we regularly introduce our employees. Get to know the people behind the screens and gain personal insights into their tasks and projects.

Flo | 28 years old | IT specialist for application development

Please introduce yourself briefly: Who are you and how did you come to iSYS?

Hi, I’m Flo and I completed my retraining as an IT specialist for application development in February. Before that, I had trained as a mechatronics technician for plants and systems, but I wanted to reorient myself professionally. The outbreak of Covid-19 gave me the opportunity to take part in a retraining programme. As I had already been involved in programming simple mechanical and electronic systems during my previous vocational training and really enjoyed it, it quickly became clear to me which direction I wanted to take with the retraining programme.

What are your tasks at iSYS?

I currently work in the iSYS training department, the Academy Team. This in turn works on small to large internal projects. For example, we are currently implementing a new function in the company’s own time and project management system, Activity. Since the beginning of the month, I have also been part of a customer project at IFCO.

What excites you most about your job?

Implementing requirements in programming language, solving complex problems and the great cooperation in the Academy team, which is managed according to Scrum.

What can new team members expect when they join iSYS?

iSYS definitely offers a very pleasant working environment. The flat hierarchy is what I like the most. I also like the fact that there are so many very experienced colleagues around me who I can take a leaf out of my book!

What do you do in your free time?

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, cycling or spending time playing PC games.
