Andreas Fabis' Laudatio:

In my pre-atsec life, I once worked for an Internet start-up and it was like magic: a flat hierarchy, decisions made in a snap, people able to focus on work that interested them, and everything moved fast. After about a year things slowed down, hierarchies became established, seemingly arbitrary procedures were imposed and, finally, there were no more free soft drinks … the magic was gone.

I am happy to say that at atsec, I found the magic once again: atsec is a fast-moving company, the hierarchies are flat, and the personal needs of the employees are not trampled for the biggest possible profit.

atsec is a fun place to work and blissfully free of corporate politics. The support we give each other and the willingness to share knowledge is wonderful to experience.

I am proud to work for a company that has overcome cultural and technical challenges; weathered legislative changes; and managed a very diverse staff so successfully and with so much passion for eight years in a row.

And we still have free soft drinks … and the magic is still strong!

Happy Birthday, atsec(ers),

Andreas
