We do have a table football and free coffee, does that help?

[e-freak]

Hey it's the Schwarzwald - they have some good beer-brands like Rothäusle down there

[Nexus]

Do you analyze other people in the first 6 months of work?

[Acony]

What exactly do you mean by that? We do have a 6-months trial period per default on every contract, but a trial period is normal on contracts in Germany. And unless you sit around and actively try not to do anything there is little chance of failing it.
