*Queue Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song*\u2026Now this is a blog post all about how I jumped on board and look at me now. Now I\u2019d like to take a few minutes to educate your brain and tell you how I managed to jump on board the Insentra train.<\/p>\n
Hey everyone! Pure Awesomeness is back!! I know it\u2019s been a while since my last post but I\u2019m back! And I don\u2019t know whether this is a good thing or not, but this post has nothing to do with Exchange and mail flow this and migrations that\u2026I can almost hear the heartbreak! Hopefully you would\u2019ve read in a number of published articles (including the bombardment of my own social media pages by my own doing) that Insentra was awarded the title of <\/span>THE 2nd<\/sup> <\/span>BEST PLACE TO WORK IN AUSTRALIA<\/strong>so rather than jamming your cerebrum with Exchange content, I thought I\u2019d tell you all about what I\u2019ve been up to during my last 2.5 years onboard the Insentra train and some of the other stuff I\u2019ve been up to when I\u2019m not shoveling coal with the rest of the crew. If you\u2019re thinking to yourself \u201cwhat the heck does he mean by shoveling coal\u201d\u2026read the train story <\/span>here<\/a> <\/span>written by our Commander and Chief, Ronnie Altit.<\/p>\n Here we go! Rewind the clock back 2.5 years ago on a drizzly Monday morning (don\u2019t ask me how the heck I remember that!) where I walked in the door of what was our old office like a young teenager walking into his first class of Legal Studies (because you know, it\u2019s every 14 year old\u2019s dream to become a lawyer\u2026said no one ever!) and was welcomed by friendly crew members and escorted to my new desk where I was greeted by a giant 15\u201d screen laptop! Before I knew it, I was on the train home and day 1 at Insentra was done and dusted. I think it was about week 2 or 3 where I found myself onsite at a large customer, dealing with an issue I had never come across but even though I was still new to my surroundings, I had the backing of the Insentra crew to help me through what could\u2019ve been a sticky situation.<\/p>\n Fast forward about 12 months or so and within that time period, became Exchange Server certified, gained the respect of the rest of the crew, captained our Starlight Kick 4 Kids 6 a side football team with a broken knuckle (you should see the other guy\u2026just kidding\u2026funny story behind it\u2026not really) and oh yes, moved into our Cloud and Collaboration Team (which was a fancy name for all things Microsoft\u2026which has now changed by the way). Want to know more about our new Go to Market? <\/span>Sign up to Insentragram!<\/a> <\/span>Oh come on, this should be standard practice after reading my blogs ?<\/p>\n Fast forward 1.5 years and this is what\u2019s happened:<\/p>\n So basically, in a nutshell, a lot has happened over the last 2.5 years and on top of all that, when I\u2019m not shoveling the coal, I\u2019m studying to become a Personal Trainer and am also part-time DJ on the weekends at private functions. Somehow, I find the time\u2026don\u2019t ask me how but somehow, I find it.<\/p>\n Now that I\u2019ve read over everything I\u2019ve written, I\u2019ve figured out I haven\u2019t told you what it\u2019s like working at Insentra. One word\u2026AWESOME! From day 1, I was welcomed onto the train and have been through different carriages, worked with and continue to work with a crazy amount of talented people.<\/p>\n Insentra dares to be different in so many ways. No political BS, no doors between carriages, meaning everyone works together to shovel the coal no matter if they\u2019re a consultant or a project manager, BBQ every Friday to fuel our hard-working bodies (and yes I tend to eat a stupid amount of food on Fridays) and I can accidentally break the nose of our CEO during an Australia Day BBQ rumble gone wrong and still live to tell the tale (this achievement can and never will be repeated!) Plus, the directors all sit out on the floor with the rest of us, meaning they\u2019re not locked away in their offices. It means that if I wanted to shoot one of the directors with my Nerf gun that I may or may not have fully loaded sitting in my draw, I can. I should point out that Nerf gun battles do occasionally take place in the office and often do result in large Nerf bullets whistling past your head.<\/p>\n It\u2019s this culture that makes Insentra stand out from the rest and is hands down the best place I\u2019ve worked in my professional IT career so far.<\/p>\n And let\u2019s face it, if you read the Great Places to Work results, the number 1 best place to work in Australia with 100 or less employees is a dentistry so in reality, Insentra is the best IT company to work for in Australia with under 100 crew members (we don\u2019t like the E word!)<\/p>\n Well, that\u2019s a wrap. Something completely different than my usual blog posts. If you\u2019re considering looking for that next step in your career, jump on our website and social media pages and get in contact with me today if there\u2019s a role that\u2019s just right for you!<\/p>\n Until next time, Pure Awesomeness signing off!<\/p>\n \u201cI have not failed. I\u2019ve just found 10,000 ways that won\u2019t work.\u201d \u2014 Thomas Edison<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" *Queue Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song*\u2026Now this is a blog post all about how I jumped on board and look at me now.
