  • Company: Telenor ASA
  • Location: Oslo, Norway

Why did you choose Telenor?

Well, I worked for Grameenphone in Bangladesh and was asked to join Telenor Group Accounting in Norway. It sounded interesting, so my family and I decided to go for it.

What is your impression so far?

I like it here, and my family has adapted well to the country. My new role is rewarding and challenging. Furthermore, it is easy to get to know new colleagues and I have gained a large network. 

What is your favourite part of your new job?

Since I am overseeing the financial reports from our subsidiaries, I have been lucky enough to work with different Telenor companies. Recently, I travelled to Ukraine and Hungary to team up with my colleagues in Kyivstar and Pannon. I definitively enjoy being part of an international team.

If you had to single out one great aspect of Telenor, what would it be?

I like the atmosphere. The open-plan office makes it easy to communicate with colleagues. Dialogue is informal and I quickly get answers to any questions I have.
