How did you hear about Atlas Copco?
“I grew up in the same area as the Atlas Copco headquarters and when I was 14 years old, I remember saying to myself: “I want to have a nice suit and work in that building one day”. To be honest, the Atlas Copco name meant something special to me from a young age, even though I didn't know so much about what the company was doing other than selling big industrial machines, and had the perception of it being a successful company to work in,” William says.
He adds that: “Atlas Copco was the first company I applied to and had an interview with after obtaining my university degree. It has been my only employer in my professional career.”
