Employee testimonials

What makes you smile when you think about your job?
“It never gets boring working at Fratello because there are always new developments and topics to follow! Everyone can contribute their ideas, and it doesn’t matter whether you are the owner or an employee — all voices are heard. It is also great to work in a dynamic team with short and uncomplicated official channels.

What happens when you tell people about your job?
