Benefits

Comp & perks

Working together on equal terms: flat hierarchies, appreciative leadership and transparent decisions — here what counts is what you can do, not your title.
Flexibility that’s truly flexible: no core working hours, home office and, in many roles, location-independent working — for more freedom at work.
Learning & development that’s fun: whether Learning Weeks with top speakers, AI courses on our Switch platform or LinkedIn training with a paid photoshoot — we want to help you grow.
A culture that connects: with foosball evenings, team challenges, our big annual Celebrate party and regular feel-good activities — for greater community and team spirit.
International projects with a wow factor: our talent works on exciting projects — from Vienna to Madrid to Namibia — with ever-new and exciting challenges.
Mental health & wellbeing in focus: with OpenUp we provide access to conversations with psychologists, coaching and meditation sessions — because your mental health matters to us.
Sustainability with real impact: our CSR team actively supports environmental and social causes through clean-up actions, donation projects, our MCI book club and much more — because sustainable action is our mindset, not a trend.
Equality is a given: we offer fair salary bands and no gender pay gap — equal opportunity and diversity are part of our daily practice.
An office that feels like home: modern technology, cozy seating areas, phone booths, a swing chair — we provide everything so you can perform at your best.
Oh, and your furry friend is welcome too!
More than just a salary: 30 days’ holiday for full-time, paid special leave, company bike leasing (JobRad), subsidy for the Deutschlandticket — so you get the support you want.
Family-friendliness that’s lived: 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 compromising your career.
Networking and exchange for young professionals: we offer mentoring programs and regular peer meetups — for a strong start to your career and valuable connections.
