Weitere Fragen & Antworten
What documentation is required for the initial application step?
An updated, detailed CV is fully sufficient for initial review. A formal cover letter is not mandatory. Certificates, academic transcripts, or project portfolios can be supplied later during the interview process.
How does direct hiring differ from entering via The Data School?
Direct hiring targets experienced professionals with pre-existing expertise in BI consulting, Data Engineering, cloud architecture, sales, or operations who take on immediate client responsibility. The Data School is a structured 29-month paid development programme featuring four months of full-time technical training designed for individuals building or transitioning their analytics capabilities from the ground up.
Is applying worthwhile without a background in Computer Science or Data Science?
Yes. Career changes are supported both through The Data School and for specific direct-hire roles. We prioritize structured analytical thinking, logical reasoning, and clear communication capability over specific academic majors.
How can the €1,500 annual learning budget be utilized?
Every team member receives an individual €1,500 annual budget to allocate toward specialized training courses, external coaching, or attending national and international tech conferences. Note: Official vendor software certifications (such as Tableau, Alteryx, Snowflake, or dbt credentials) are fully funded separately by the company and do not deduct from this individual budget.
How flexible are working hours and remote work policies?
Work arrangements are grounded in trust and personal accountability rather than rigid oversight. We support flexible schedules, trust-based working hours (Vertrauensarbeitszeit), and hybrid working models aligned with project demands. Work-life balance is further supported by 30 days of paid annual leave, alongside guaranteed paid time off on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
