I will quote here from Alice in Wonderland: “There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery & danger! Some say to survive it, you need to be as Mad as a Hatter. Which luckily, I am.” Our weeks and days are different, many things happening at the same time and new things to learn every day and the best colleagues. If you are ready for those, then you are ready for Roima!
