**Exciting projects with international reach:** We work on digital projects that set standards! Our clients come from both B2C and B2B sectors and include local and international players.
**Globally connected and locally rooted:** Our teams in Munich and Kreuzberg benefit from sustainable knowledge exchange with WAS locations worldwide and are based in the Glockenbachviertel and Kreuzberg.
**Flexibility - Yes please!:** Hybrid work combines the advantages of home office and office work for us. That's why we've opted for a 2/3 split, which means that for a 40-hour week we work at least 2 days on-site with our colleagues and 3 days in the home office. But that's not all!

Enjoy 2 additional Health Days, Menstrual Leave, a day off on your birthday, a partnership with Wellpass, the Deutschlandticket, a membership with OpenUp and much more.
