“Office Depot is a company where hard work and passion never go unnoticed and I felt it on my own. I’m Andra Tigu and I started working in the Business Services Industry when I was still a student at FSEGA studying International Business and Economics. Office Depot trusted me and offered me the support I needed to develop myself. I had great opportunities each year, I’ve been involved in projects where I could show my drive for results and learning on the fly skills, my ability to deal with ambiguity and to manage complex tasks. After 5 years I still enjoy working here as a Senior Process Specialist for Accounts Payable. There is diversity, flexibility, strong team spirit and the people are just amazing.”
