An Inside Look at Renee Smith-Paradis

What is the most meaningful part of your job?

I work in a support role as the only SAP Developer. I work with business users in all areas and everyone is always extremely grateful when I deliver something they have always wanted, especially if it helps them do their jobs more efficiently.

What is your perception of our culture here at Optics 1?

I believe most everyone here has the attitude of working together towards a common goal and always willing to go the extra mile for the customer.

Do you feel appreciated for the work you do? If so, how?

Yes, extremely. I feel more appreciated here by the business as a whole than I did working for a large company. Being the only developer, the gratitude is immense.

Have you grown and/or developed your career here at Optics 1? To What do you contribute your success?

I have learned a lot since coming to Optics 1. At a large company there are experts in every area, which doesn't allow for much cross training. At Optics 1 I have the ability to wear many hats and learn things I would never have had the opportunity to. The need is great, and we are given the time to research and learn, which in turn helps the business with in-house knowledge.

Anything else you'd like to pass along?

I really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and sense of humor in my area. It makes each day entertaining and fun!
