Testimonials
It's been an absolute pleasure being a part of the Byte Orbit team for the past four years. I have grown so much since joining. Byte Orbit truly is an environment that encourages skill and people development. I look forward to the next four years.
I started working at Byte Orbit early in my career, and since then I have never stopped growing and learning. I could not imagine a company with a more amazing and inspirational boss than our own, Amit Ramdath. Almost 10 years down the line, and I'm still excited to be part of continuously new and exciting projects. I'm grateful to Byte Orbit for giving me never-ending opportunities to add growth to my career.
As clichéd as it may sound, teamwork makes the dream work. I have had the pleasure of working within a team that is committed to a shared vision and the greater success of the organisation. As an HR Generalist, it has been a great experience to be exposed to our leadership team, who are committed to the personal growth of all its employees. “When you look back after 12 months you should not recognise yourself” - Amit Ramdath. This quote is my daily inspiration when I walk through the doors of Byte Orbit.
At Byte Orbit, we have the opportunity to work on great projects with amazing people. We know how to balance hard work with a dash of fun.
I've taken the famous words of our CEO to heart, "When you look back after 12 months you should not recognise yourself". When I look at myself from starting at Byte Orbit to now, I don't see the same person at all, and I owe a lot of that growth personally and professionally to this company. Byte Orbit has given me the freedom to branch out and learn new things while still getting better at my initial responsibilities. I love the work I do and the people I work with have made working at the company a joy.
