I particularly enjoy the independent way of working and the variety of challenging technical and banking-related tasks. I also like the appreciative and collegial environment.

The programming language Scala that we use in our project. Because I didn’t know it before. Scala is very much based on category-theoretical structures, which particularly appeals to me as a trained theoretical mathematician.

I spent my first weeks at zeb as an intern. From the very first day, I experienced a very appreciative and respectful atmosphere among colleagues, which was also characterized by a high level of subject-matter expertise. There were no boring, “typical intern tasks”, which meant that I never felt like a “fifth wheel on the wagon”.

As a graphic designer in the Design team, I am responsible for a variety of tasks, such as creating animations and social media posts, designing the layout and coordinating the printing of studies, or planning and organizing photo shoots. Every day is a little different and often brings new challenges that require creative solutions.

I really liked the wonderful and highly professional team, but also the freedom with regard to working hours and the way you tackle tasks. For me, being able to stay on as a student assistant meant gaining even deeper insights into the daily work of the Talent Attraction team.

At zeb, I was able to build my own network very quickly – my colleagues, but also various onboarding events, contributed to this. Therefore I felt very comfortable right from the start, and after just a few weeks I had the impression that I had been part of the team for much longer.

What I like most about my job in ORG/IT is that the work is very varied and each project brings its own challenges, which allows you to gather lots of insights and ensures that no two days are the same.

The special thing about zeb is that, despite the large number of employees, there is an enormous sense of flexibility. Individual strengths and career plans are taken into account, rather than forcing everyone to fit into the same strictly defined structure.

During my apprenticeship at zeb, I learned that – no matter which professional position you are in – “reasoning beats hierarchy”.

For me, the way my colleagues and I interact and communicate is very special, in particular the informal way we address each other and the fact that we all can learn from one another, regardless of our respective positions in the company. At company-wide events such as the zeb.Uni or the Christmas party, you always get to know colleagues from other European office locations whom you would otherwise probably not come into contact with, as an apprentice.
