“Working at Macron is both stimulating and demanding. Stimulating because it’s an uphill race: we’re a sports company, we like to run. Demanding because we work hard here, and everyone has to give their best to achieve our goals.”
Vanessa, Associate Infrastructure Specialist, is responsible for managing and maintaining the global IT infrastructure. It’s a crucial role that comes with high responsibility and requires responsiveness, precision, and vision. Yet, what stands out most in her story isn’t the technical side—it’s the enthusiasm with which she talks about her team:
“In my 18-year career, this is one of the best groups I’ve worked with. The human quality truly makes a difference.”
Growth you can feel
Vanessa has worked in large structured companies, she’s been a consultant, she’s seen many different environments. But Macron has given her something unique:
“Macron’s growth is real, you can feel it on your skin. I’ve never experienced anything so tangible elsewhere.”
In just a few years, the company has undergone intense transformation—technological, organizational, and cultural. And those who are part of this growth aren’t just along for the ride: they help build it, day by day.
Valuing ideas, creating space for people
One of the aspects Vanessa appreciates most is the opportunity to truly contribute.
“From the beginning, I was encouraged to speak up. Even when I had just arrived, I had room to propose solutions and alternative visions. That’s not something to take for granted.”
This openness to dialogue is a core pillar of a work environment that fosters shared ownership, where every voice can make a difference.
The power of the team: ‘You can’t get far alone’
In the IT world, individual competence is essential—but it’s not enough.
“You can’t get far alone. You can’t know everything. Only by sharing knowledge and supporting each other can you achieve great results.”
What emerges is a company culture that values collective thinking, personal responsibility, and collaboration. A place where teamwork is more than just a concept—it’s a real, lived value.
Technical skill and humanity: a possible balance
Technology requires precision, but working with people requires empathy. For Vanessa, the real work often begins when a colleague panics over a problem they can’t solve.
“You need psychology. You have to reassure, guide, understand. It’s not just a technical matter.”
In this too, Macron proves to be a company attentive to the human factor. You grow as a professional, but also as a person.
Beyond the role: room for personal growth
Vanessa started as a technician and now also holds management responsibilities. She learned on the job, driven by the company’s trust. Meanwhile, she’s also studying computer engineering at university—while working full time.
“It’s not easy, but my desire to grow is stronger. I know I can use what I learn to benefit the company. And that motivates me even more.”
A challenge worth the reward
One of the most complex experiences she recalls is the complete renewal of the Milan data center.
“It was a very delicate operation. We had to avoid any service disruption. We did it. And we received praise from the CEO. That was incredibly rewarding.”
And that’s the deeper meaning of her story: every challenge is also a chance to feel proud.
Macron is… a summit reached together
“It’s like hiking a trail with a 25% incline. Effort, sweat… but then you reach the top, enjoy the view, and say: it was worth it.”
At Macron, people work hard—but together. They grow, they evolve, they build something meaningful. And discover that work can also be a space for personal fulfillment.
