Testimony:
A French employee in Buggenhout: “Life is quite sweet in Belgium. Food is great. Flemish cities and wallonian countryside are beautiful. You will feel home in Brussels, in the hearth of Europe, a modern, multicultural, and dynamic city, which kept a unique legacy and a unique charm. Finally, Belgian are appealing and easy-going people.
Buggenhout’s site is in a charming little town between Brussels, Gendt, and Antwerpen. The place has been designed as a comfortable working place. Finally, the plant is human-sized, and the team is multicultural.”
Our current V.I.E: “I was integrated into a very positive and attentive team, which made my adaptation easier.
The international team (Poland, Brazil, Spain, France, Ukraine, Romania, Italy and Belgium of course) is perfect for practicing English on a daily basis and enriching my skills by working with colleagues from diverse backgrounds. Working in a large company while being part of a small team allows me to quickly see the impact of my work, which is extremely motivating.
Despite a small team, the size of the group allows for support and training to begin projects.
Finally, transparency and information sharing within the company allowed me to closely monitor ongoing actions and understand how my contributions fit into the overall strategy.
Belgium, with the largest V.I.E community in the world, is an ideal place to meet people with the same experience, especially since we are located close to the capital and dynamic Brussels. The country being in the center of Europe allows to discover different cultures.
This experience in Belgium is truly enriching both personally and professionally.”
