Our last day together was also packed with discussions and brainstorming sessions. And guess what? We had a surprise photo session with a professional photographer! We will disclose the pictures very soon, but we can say that it was a success. Later, we had our All-Employee quarterly meeting, where every team shared their incredible achievements for Q2.
As the farewell night approached, we took a journey through the history of Ingolstadt, guided by a local expert. We learned some interesting facts – Ingolstadt is a well-preserved ancient town that’s over a thousand years old, is home to the oldest university in Bavaria, and it’s even the setting of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”! Plus, it’s famous for the automobile industry and has some mysterious ties to the Bavarian Illuminati. A fun quirk – there’s a fountain that spills beer once a week!
After a tasty Thai dinner, we had beers in a couple of pubs in the city, making memories until it was time to say our goodbyes. On Friday, some of us went back to work at the office, while others headed home already in the morning.
A few of our team members couldn’t, unfortunately, join our All-Employee Meetup this time, but we’re hopeful to meet them at our next gathering. While we appreciate the advantages of remote work’s flexibility, we realize the importance of face-to-face interactions and in-person discussions – and we can’t wait for our next adventure! Where will we go next time? The bets are now open!
