FAQ
With us, you will find passionate, open-minded colleagues with a broad spectrum of academic backgrounds, different work experiences, perspectives and ways of thinking and from 13 nations. They all bring valuable professional experience that they can bring to the table.
Our professionals (both experienced and managers) have typically gathered technical knowledge from various fields, as our sophisticated high-end technology requires a certain level of expertise. Our successful managers at PLATH include, for example, graduates or PhDs in physics, mathematics, computer science or electrical engineering/communications engineering.
In most cases, our juniors already have initial experience in the respective fields of work - be it through internships, working student activities and/or other work phases. They are characterised above all by a thirst for knowledge and ambition, as they do not hold back with their questions and ideas.
Excellent written and spoken German is a prerequisite for working with us, as our corporate language is German. A very good to good knowledge of English is also essential in all areas.

You will receive a START@PLATH package (Welcome Package) from us, consisting of the most important information and documents for your start as well as your personalised induction plan.
Regular jour fixes, stand-ups and team meetings take place in all teams, where current topics and tasks are discussed and general feedback is given. You will receive detailed feedback in our annual and half-yearly appraisals, which take place between you and your line manager. These meetings serve to exchange ideas and continuously plan your individual development. Of course, all discussions and meetings are not a one-way street - we would like you to contribute your ideas, wishes and feedback here too.
