We offer our employees flexible working hours and support in caring for children and close relatives. Our commitment in this area goes beyond the statutory requirements.
Whenever possible, we want to allow our employees to work flexibly so that they can the necessary freedom for themselves. We firmly believe that flexibility breeds innovation and allows our employees to focus on what really matters – in line with our mission: “Science for a better life.”
For example, our employees can – in accordance with the respective supervisor and in line with the legal requirements – choose independently how and where they want to work.

In addition to this daily flexibility, we also offer various working models, including home office, the purchase of additional vacation days, sabbaticals, part-time working and job sharing.
We support flexible working, where possible, through the «80 to 100 percent» job model. HR managers will actively discuss the options with applicants, with both parties agreeing to the percentage of working time that meets both parties’ needs.
