Globally connected, 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 neighborhoods.
Flexibility — yes, please!: Hybrid work combines the advantages of home office and on-site work. We follow a 2/3 split for a 40‑hour week: at least 2 days on-site with colleagues and 3 days remote. But that’s not all — we’re big fans of remote work. You can work remotely for 20 days within Germany and another 20 days within Europe. So if you’re not a fan of the German winter, join us and spend that time in Portugal or Greece.

Enjoy 2 extra Health Days, Menstrual Leave, a day off on your birthday, a partnership with Urban Sports Club, the Deutschlandticket, membership with OpenUp and much more.
