I've worked at TomTom since I finished university, and it has been an incredible experience. The Learning and Development opportunities are outstanding, and I receive frequent training and support to enhance my skills. The company really values employee innovation and encourages their employees to think outside the box and develop original ideas. Management always listens to ideas, responds quickly to feedback, and provides clear direction. The environment feels family-like and rather than bosses, I have supportive mentors. I also like that TomTom values diversity, brings people from all different backgrounds, and actively support ‘women in tech’ initiatives.
