Gamp

If you have had to visit local repair shops to fix your gadgets, then you know the frustration that comes with it. Gadget repair with local shops is expensive—almost the same price as getting a new one. Damage recurs. Gadget parts could be missing. Time is wasted. And in the end, users are forced to get new items after spending a lot to fix old ones. These inadequacies form the basis of the solution Gamp was created to provide —an insurtech that provides Protection Plans and Repair Support for individuals and businesses on gadgets and devices. 

Gamp is simply the credible and safe alternative to local gadget repair. And there is a distinction —this alternative comes with insurance benefits. 

While Gamp is growing fast to become a leading insurtech on the continent, it is also a great place for tech enthusiasts to work. I spoke with Beloved Moses, Content Writer at Gamp to take an inside look at the company’s services and work culture. 

“If you have a laptop and a phone and you place value on them, Gamp is what you are looking for. You are our target client. We have Gamp for individuals, businesses, and APIs. 

If you have a store where you sell phones, we can help you install gamp APIs on those phones and you can sell to people at a more extensive warranty. If you are an MD or HR and you want to buy gadgets for your company, we can install Gamp for you to protect them and if anything happens and you want to fix, we can help you with that or we get you new ones if they can’t be fixed. Gamp for Individuals is the same as gamp for businesses, just that it’s for individuals. As long as you have paid your subscription fee, you get access to all our services. 

What makes my work as a writer really seamless is the company culture. And it’s the same for every other person on the team. Gamp is keen on ensuring an outstanding work-life balance; one of the things that make it stand out for me. Our work style is hybrid and I am only at the office when there’s a need to be there. And it’s a place where you can be open about work. 

For instance, a typical work day involves stand-up meetings at 8:45 in the morning and 5:30 in the evening.  Of course, you would be asked about the day’s itinerary and your plans, and I feel very confident to be open about my day (either I have a busy or a free day). And as a copywriter among tech guys, I can always ask for help and be sure of collaborative efforts to achieve my goals.

I had left my former workplace because I wasn’t comfortable there. Coming into Gamp, I had almost missed out on the opportunity because the job requirements appeared to be more than I was pitching for. However, as time went on, over a series of calls and interviews, the recruiters (CareerBuddy) and I found a common ground where their expectations and my goals met perfectly”.
