Your Career with a Feel-Good Factor: Our Corporate Culture

We want our company to be a cultural fuel station for you. You should experience our corporate culture every day, through trust and appreciation, through a “good to see you”, through loyalty and fairness, through a shared, positive failure culture. We create a vibrant corporate culture through authentic, shared values.

Focus on People

The foundation of our success is the team behind the software and our corporate culture. Shared values form the framework for a trusting working relationship and are the key to good teamwork. We have therefore defined guiding principles that place people at the center of our actions.

Our Corporate Culture in the Daily Work Environment

The Best Way is Together!

Mutual respect, trust and a positive failure culture are important to us. We are teamworkers, and a team is only good if everyone is fully involved. Appreciation and recognition of the achievements of each individual team member are among our core values.

And that also applies to our NextGen, the new generation of talent: here you can see Lotta, first as an apprentice, now as a dual student with us, realizing her projects with fresh ideas and lots of power.

A Clear Path for Innovation

We know that freedom is crucial for a person's satisfaction and progress. That's why everyone in our team is given creative freedom and responsibility in their work. This is the only way to work creatively. And only in this way something really new can emerge.

And the collaborative partnership also works across locations! Hybrid meetings between our German and Spanish software engineers often take place in this room, the Think Tank.

Simply Honest

Regular information events, video messages and personal discussions create the greatest possible transparency. Communication connects, openness strengthens – we live by this principle, both internally and externally.

Following established structures is easy! But we think it's much more exciting to explore to the right and left of the path ... even if that means turning the keyboard into an air guitar like Dennis!

With Courage Towards the Future

With creative ideas, progressive concepts and the conscious breaking of old thought patterns, we shape our working life together every day. We enjoy our profession and have the courage to innovate.

Our Working World Has Been Awarded

With the variety of employer seals that exist in Germany and around the world, it's not so easy to keep track of them all. When it came to certifying our working environment, we opted for independent institutes that focus their analysis on our corporate culture and our working conditions – and that primarily draw on feedback from our team. After all, who would be better suited to authentically evaluate our working world than those who fill it with life every day?

This Is What the Employer Seals Stand For

We have once again been designated an "Attractive Employer" for 2022 by the international research and consulting institute Great Place to Work®. The "Great Place to Work® Certified" program stands for a special commitment to shaping workplace culture. Topics of the team survey, which is the basis for certification, included trust in leaders, team spirit, fairness, appreciation, respect, and identification with the company. In addition, the management was surveyed as part of a culture audit to determine which measures and programs had been implemented to shape an attractive corporate culture. The results of the two surveys ("Great Place to Work®" employee survey & culture audit) are weighted at a ratio of 3:1. The focus is therefore on the employee survey.

In 2022, we also scored points in two special Great Place to Work® competitions: we were ranked among the top 20 percent of employers in both the information and telecommunications technology sector (ITC for short) and in North Rhine-Westphalia. The awards stand for special commitment to shaping a trusting and supportive culture of cooperation in companies; they are awarded based on data from the "Great Place to Work®" survey. According to Great Place to Work®, the ITC sector is especially progressive in terms of workplace culture, which makes the award as "Best Employers in ITC 2022" something very special for us.

The Top Company seal is awarded by kununu to companies that are rated particularly highly on Europe's largest employer review platform. Since it is assigned independently and based on data, the seal is considered to be particularly authentic. The requirements are at least six reviews from employees, at least one of which must be from the last twelve months, and an average score of at least 3.8 stars over the past twelve months. According to kununu, only around five percent of companies qualify for the Top Company seal, which is awarded annually.
