Adriana about working at Qserve
'Working at Qserve has been like working with extended family, who all happen to be industry experts. It is an environment where one is supported and encouraged to ask questions, problem solve and develop oneself as much as possible – those are all qualities that make a great consultant. Ultimately, to be client-focused is to be people-focused; therefore, working at Qserve means bringing empathy on the job, as much as technical skills. I couldn’t imagine a better place to work'.
