Benefits

Comp & perks

A culture of mutual respect: flat hierarchies, appreciative leadership, and transparent decision-making — here what matters is what you can do, not your job title.
Flexibility that really works: no core working hours, home office options, and many roles offer location-independent work — for greater freedom in your job.
Learning & development that’s enjoyable: from Learning Weeks with top speakers to AI courses on our Switch platform and LinkedIn training with a paid photoshoot — we want to help you grow.
A culture that connects: foosball evenings, team challenges, our big annual Celebrate party and regular feel‑good activities — for more community and team spirit.
International projects with a wow factor: our talents work on exciting assignments — from Vienna to Madrid to Namibia — with constantly new and exciting challenges.
Mental health & wellbeing in focus: via OpenUp we provide access to sessions with psychologists, coaching and meditation — because your mental health matters to us.
Sustainability with real impact: our CSR team runs cleanup campaigns, donation projects, the MCI book club and more — because sustainable action is an attitude, not a trend.
Equality as standard: fair salary bands and no gender pay gap — equal opportunity and diversity are part of our everyday culture.
An office that feels like home: modern technology, cozy seating areas, phone booths and a swing seat — everything needed to help you perform at your best.
And yes: your furry friend is welcome!
More than just a salary: 30 days holiday (full-time), paid special leave, JobRad leasing, and a subsidy for the Deutschlandticket — so you receive the support you need.
Family-friendliness in practice: we know family comes first. Whether parental leave, childcare subsidies or short-term leave — we support you so you can be there for your family without sacrificing your career.
