Life at TomTom

It’s more important than ever to create queer and trans-friendly spaces at work. As Gen Z enters the STEM workforce in growing numbers it’ll grow ever more important to accommodate the evolving nature of how people identify themselves with friends, family and at work.

I just finished participating in this year's event – my first hackathon ever – and I am walking away impressed and energized by all the incredible ideas that came out of it.

In July 2021, TomTom co-founder and CEO Harold Goddijn is being recognized by the Automotive Hall of Fame with the inaugural Mobility Innovator Award, putting him alongside names such as Mario Andretti, Walter Bentley, Karl Benz and Enzo Ferrari.

Things that were originally left to science-fiction writers are now becoming a reality: ADAS, autonomous driving, interconnected devices, and more. But all these revolutionary technologies require a framework to manage them. This is where the Navigation Data Standard (NDS) comes in, and what our NDS Product Unit (PU NDS) specializes in.

When taking any journey, we can all agree that we want the destination to be worthwhile. Our maps help us direct drivers, businesses and policymakers on their journey towards a worthy goal for everyone – a safer, cleaner, congestion-free world.

As Java engineers, data is our fast food – there’s lots of it around, and we consume lots of it as we process line after line of code. But we also know that so much more is asked of us, in terms of decision-making, speed and efficiency, etc. How does TomTom manage these factors, while building the best possible product? Our Content Production Platform Product Unit (PU CPP) is our answer.

Women empowering other women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic fields starts early – a personal recount.

In 2020, traffic levels underwent significant change. From this, we can ask ourselves a question – how could this change inform our decision-making in 2021? We can find the answer to that by first looking at the data. Enter our Traffic Index.

Over the course of the year, we’ve gained an even better understanding of the significance of feedback loops. Ever since we refashioned our homes into workspaces, virtual communication has become more important than ever. We’ve worked hard to stay connected and to react quickly to TomTom’ers’ requests, suggestions and pain points.

The year 2020 has led us all to reexamine how people stay connected and work effectively. When a global event impacts a global workforce, provisions need to be made on the part of organizations and the people who staff them. We’re given an opportunity to look inward and prioritize what really matters.

There is an effective way to taking a bottom-up approach to product innovation. For us, that’s the TomTom Lab.

To stimulate innovation, hackathons are an excellent way for technology companies to take a bottom-up approach to reach new technological breakthroughs.
