Remote work

Our offices remain open, but you are free to work from home, from any location in Germany.

We have anchor days on which every team member is asked to come to the office. We meet in person once a month. In the future, we foresee the possibility of two team meetings per month. This means that you will be asked to come to one of our offices (Cologne or Berlin) in person once or twice a month.
