The process was very fast, and I felt like I was really able to get an understanding of the company, the founders and the wider team. I spoke to Hessam online, and because I'm in Berlin he invited me to the office to have lunch and meet the team as part of the process. The Friday Thai food market next to the office wasn't the only factor in my decision to join Climatiq, but it didn't hurt! After further calls with key team members who work remotely, I put together a list of key priorities for my department and a short video. A lot of that work fed through to my early priorities in the role, so it definitely felt like an important part of the process rather than a pointless exercise. I also felt like the team focussed much more on my thought process and principles rather than looking for specific domain knowledge.
