Grow at Centreon

💡 The Spark: "Right from the start, I wanted to contribute by proposing new ways to improve our processes. My manager immediately picked up on this proactive mindset. Ultimately, this new Supervisor role came about naturally to formalize what I was already doing out of passion: helping the team grow and succeed."

💬 The Experience: "It’s been a great on-the-job learning experience, working hand-in-hand with my manager. Moving from pure engineering to management requires stepping back and looking at the bigger picture. You feel a bit of personal pressure at times because your decisions have a wider impact, but it’s an incredibly exciting challenge."

🎯 The Takeaway: "I still keep one foot on the ground by handling client tickets, which is essential for staying connected to the team's daily reality. Today, I don’t feel boxed into a category. I know Centreon is a company where career paths can truly shift if you just dare to speak up."

💡 The Spark: "Joining in 2015, I spent five years in Support. It’s the perfect school for understanding the product and our customers' needs. But eventually, I needed a new challenge: I wanted to step behind the scenes and take an active part in the technical design by joining R&D."

💬 The Experience: "My transition to Front-End development was a real technical challenge. When my manager and I realized that it wasn't the path where I would thrive the most, Centreon reacted with incredible empathy. Instead of hitting a dead end, I was offered a pivot to the QA team. We took the time to build this next step together."

🎯 The Takeaway: "Today in QA, I’m having a blast focusing on automation and API testing. I still get to work with code while ensuring the overall quality of the product. What I take away from this is that at Centreon, you have the right to try, make mistakes, and bounce back. We will always find a solution for anyone eager to learn."

💡 The Spark: "I started my journey at Centreon as a marketing intern. Over time, I felt the need to see the impact of my actions in a more direct, human way. I wanted to bring deeper meaning to my day-to-day work by getting closer to the heart of the company: its people. This desire to be genuinely helpful to my colleagues was the real driving force behind my transition."

💬 The Experience: "The transition was incredibly smooth, thanks to genuine active listening from both management and the HR team. I was able to co-create my future role and even influence my reporting line to the HR team, ensuring the close managerial proximity that matters so much to me. I wasn’t just moved from one department to another; I was given the space to design a working environment that truly matched my expectations and my need for team spirit."

🎯 The Takeaway: "Today, I fully leverage my marketing background—my eye for detail and my passion for event planning—but now I apply it internally for our teams. I have no regrets: at Centreon, if you have the audacity to propose an idea, doors open. You have to try it to know, because here, nothing is ever set in stone!"

💡 The Spark: "I joined Centreon in 2012 as a Consultant. I loved the technical side, but the frequent travel was starting to take a toll on me. I brought it up quite simply, and since the company was so understanding, I was able to transition to Support—allowing me to stop traveling without losing my technical expertise. That was just the beginning of a long series of evolutions."

💬 The Experience: "I tried my hand at managing a large team, but I quickly realized that dealing purely with people management cut me off too much from the technical work, which I really missed. Instead of leaving me in that situation, Centreon co-created a new role with me: Escalation Manager (which later became Technical Success Manager). This allowed me to get back to what I love most: solving complex technical issues and leading cross-functional projects."

🎯 The Takeaway: "My journey proves that you can grow without necessarily following a linear path. Every single role taught me something: consulting gave me autonomy, management taught me human relations. Today, I manage a team of experts and feel completely in my element. Never be afraid to talk about your aspirations, even if the role doesn't exist yet!"
