Campo 24 de Agosto.
In 4 minutes, you are clocking in at the office.
Start your day having breakfast with the Team and grab fresh fruit on the way to your seat, in one of Porto's most typical neighborhoods.
This Purple Day is going to be a busy one: daily meeting ensuring all team members are on the same page regarding work status, priorities and blockers, language class and, just after, a Talent Management meeting with your manager, discussing your career path.   Lunch break.
Today, your Team is onboarding newcomers, but also welcoming French colleagues: the perfect excuse to walk downtown and bond over a francesinha.
When returning, inhale nature and peace of mind in Natixis Urban Garden (look at the crops; ready to harvest!
).   Back inside.
Brainstorming session on a new, exciting project in our disruptive and immersive Manaus Village.
The afternoon went flying (tasks, meetings, some jokes with your teammates).
End it on a high note: celebrating cultural diversity with a Diwali, the Indian festival of lights.   ?Tomorrow, you attend a conference led by influential speakers in your industry and, the day after, you will work from home, benefitting from some focus time to complete that report and soft skills course on LinkedIn Learning.
Once you are done with your work for the day, strike the right note playing with Natixis band or be part of a board games session.
If that is too steady for you, meet your colleagues to catch some waves or sail the Douro river during golden hour.
