Yes, we will be happy to reimburse your travel costs for this. You will receive information about the general conditions with your interview invitation.

Essentially, you will be allocated to a project as soon as possible after the onboarding. Specific project induction generally means that to begin with you work with an experienced colleague who will allocate and explain specific tasks to you. With increasing experience, you will work more and more independently until you yourself might take over the role of introducing new colleagues to projects.

Working hours essentially follow the demands of the project/work, but we do not have a culture that encourages or demands extremely long working hours. On average, people work slightly more than 40 hours/week. Weekend work only happens in exceptional cases, for example, as part of a trading or risk management system going live at the weekend.

We have such a diverse range of projects that there is no such thing as a typical project. The spectrum ranges from small projects e.g. short reviews lasting between one and three weeks with two or three employees through to large projects lasting as long as several months with fifty or more employees. But usually, you are assigned to a (part) project along with other colleagues. In particular, as someone who has just joined, you will always have an experienced colleague by your side. With projects that last a long time, there are usually changes in the project team during the duration of the project.

We do not have a fixed ‘office day’ and usually you can choose where you work, either remotely from home or from the d-fine office, as long as you are not required to work from the client’s premises. Nevertheless, we encourage starters to come to the office in their first few months so that they can meet colleagues at the beginning of their career with d-fine. In the first few days you will, for example, meet many colleagues from the Front Office and Corporate Services divisions during the onboarding days. Frequently changing project teams and our regular conventions offer you an opportunity to maintain existing contacts and make new ones. Our internal training programmes and external professional development options also provide opportunities throughout your entire career to meet colleagues. At large project locations, colleagues often organise sports activities and cinema trips, etc. during the week so they can round off the day together. Naturally, people take part in these privately organised meet-ups on a voluntarily basis.

If this occurs, then you either do preparatory work for other projects from the office or you use the time for professional development.

We do not have a move ‘up or out’ policy as we essentially try to keep our employees for the long term and create a pleasant and motivating work environment.

No, at the start people usually follow a general induction ‘mainline’ (you are allocated according to location). People can retain a general focus at d-fine for their entire career.

This naturally depends on the specific project. Many projects do however involve some form of IT, so one should be prepared to be assigned IT tasks, such as programming tasks, database modelling or system parametrisation. d-fine’s special strength lies in its combination of specialist know-how and implementation expertise.
