Time Off // Stay refreshed
It’s important that you take time off work to refresh and reenergise, and with 30 days of annual leave, you’ll have plenty of time to unwind from work.

Workation // Stay curious
As a digital company, we believe you can do your work just as well from the beach house in Portugal or the winter cabin in Sweden. That’s why you can work for up to 4 weeks per quarter from anywhere within the EU. We’ll even enable you to take a sabbatical, as soon as after two years of employment.

Benefitsy // You have the choice
You’ll receive a monthly budget of fifty Euros in the Benefitsy portal to use at your disposal (e.g. Spotify, REWE, Sixt, IKEA and many more). We also partner with a corporate benefits provider, unlocking discounts for hundreds of retailers for you to save money on your purchases.

Personal and Professional Growth is one of our core values, and we want to support your growth by setting aside an annual budget for you to learn and grow in your career.

Remote work equipment // Ready for work
We want you to be able to work as well at home as you can in the office, so we’ll provide you with all the equipment you need to successfully work from home. We’ll also give you a one-off budget to purchase a desk, chair or other things you might need for your home office.

Dog policy // Bring your own dog
A variety of four-legged feel-good managers provide natural entertainment in the office and enjoy the attention of their two-legged colleagues. If you want to bring your dog to work, you can!

Team events // Involved instead of just employed
Get off to a great start – we come together at least twice per year for our legendary summer and winter parties, and look forward to welcoming you in Berlin!
