Work In Tech

"Working for Absorb has truly been a fantastic experience. It is an organization which offers opportunities for everyone to foster and grow both professionally and personally. What I love most is that no two days are the same here. The organization is very multicultural and with offices across the globe including myself in Ireland, we get to interact with colleagues from various nationalities and cultural backgrounds, which is also another interesting facet of working for Absorb. I have not only learned a lot, but there has also been so much cross functional learning which has helped both my team and I flourish. Peers at Absorb are extremely talented, encouraging, and helpful who are always there in times of need. Overall, Absorb is such a great place to work and definitely the best career move I’ve ever made." - Darren O'Connor - Director, Client Advocacy
