There is basically a very collegial and open atmosphere and a family culture. Even though the demands are sometimes very high and there is a high level of dynamism, the working environment is very appreciative and characterised by trust. The home office options will also be maintained after Corona and the flexible working hours allow employees a good work-life balance. Great importance is attached to promoting the proactivity of employees. The input of the employees is not only taken up, but often also implemented. Employees are given a lot of freedom in their daily work, which makes it possible for them to work very independently. The expectations of the employees are relatively high, but on the other hand you also get a lot in return (flexible working, part-time, home office, very good social benefits, compensation for overtime, etc.). Due to the fact that the management team is young, agile and strong in implementation, trends and new topics are tackled early. The daily work routine is therefore very future-oriented. The company is also very well positioned in the digital field.

I see potential for improvement especially in certain processes and the communication flow between the departments. However, the management is also very open about such topics and implements the feedback of the employees as far as possible. Furthermore, the volume of projects and opportunities sometimes exceeds the capacities of the rather small teams. A little more pragmatism would be necessary here in the implementation.
