Finding the best way together

In your job you contribute a significant amount of time, present a lot of passion and want to have the ability to express yourself. These goals are best achieved in an environment in which you feel comfortable. Therefore the culture of a company is a crucial indicator. For this reason, we offer you the opportunity to take our Culture Check and get an insight into our Corporate Culture.

This test consists of 8 questions and will take no longer than 5 minutes. Once an answer is selected, it cannot be changed. Remember to always choose the answer that most fits your behaviour.

Please note: The Cultural Check is not an official part of the application. It is absolutely anonymous and only serves to give you an idea in advance.

Find out whether our culture meets your expectations:
