One Important Note In Closing

For us, diversity matters! Of course, we welcome it and want to promote it to the best of our ability. Our job ads are directed at people, not at a gender (nor at a sexual orientation, an origin or a faith). If you see wording in our ads that refers to a specific gender, it's for ease of reading only. If you stumble across something that we could have done better, we ask you to point it out to us (also in the later application process). Individuality breaks linguistic boundaries, but our language must also evolve. Apply to us and make our corporate culture more colorful!
