What employees love about AEB:
AEB features at a glance.
All categoriesFlexibilityCultureEnvironmentCommunityFinancial
Space and time
Full time, part time, flextime, parental leave. Downtime. Work is not everything. We know that. That’s why we let you choose (nearly) any work model that works for you. Part-time studies, sabbatical, unpaid leave to travel the world: It’s all been done. And they all came back.
Space to move
<p>There are healthier activities than working. Like our healthy workplace program with annual on-site health services. At the Stuttgart HQ, we also have an exercise room, a ping pong table, showers, and lockers. Outside the office spaces, sports groups also meet regularly for yoga, soccer, beach volleayball and other activities.</p>
Pets
<p>Ben, Kala, Bobby, Sissi, Hakon, Platon, and other dogs are incredibly cute and allowed in our offices. To accomodate the needs of all our colleagues, there are also dog-free zones and a couple of other principles to consider when bringing a four-legged companion. </p> <p>By the way: The Stuttgart HQ also has thousands of other “pets” in our two beehives.</p>Feedback
<p>Evaluation sheets? Not necessarily what will help either you or us. We work and talk as a team. Everyone gives and gets feedback. Whenever you need us, we’re happy to talk about your development. And once a year, we’ll sit down together to map out your future at AEB.</p>
Equipment and devices
We don’t see office equipment as a privilege. It’s something to make our work easier. That’s why, as soon as you’re hired permanently, you’ll get a smartphone along with your contract and can also use your laptop outside of work.
Office space
<p>We were already familiar with remote work even before the whole world caught on. As beautiful, versatile, and award-winning as our HQ may be, it’s also designed to host only part of our workforce on any given day.</p> <p>P.S.: When you are there, though, be sure to visit the “Kantino,” AEB’s (also award-winning) cafeteria!</p>
Employee-owned
<p>AEB doesn’t belong to just anyone – it belongs to us. This frees us from the financial interests of outside investors. Lets us follow our own entrepreneurial philosophy.</p> <p>Holding shares gives you the special opportunity of being a co-owner of AEB and thus to participate twice in one's own success - operationally in day-to-day work and through strategic decisions as a shareholder.</p>
Play space
Work is not child’s play. To keep the little ones happy anyway, we have a parent-child playroom.Space to develop
<p>Playing field, not career ladder: At AEB, we don’t think in hierarchies. When you take charge of your space, move the ball forward, change the game, and help achieve a good outcome, you help the whole team. That’s how you move forward on your career path – and expand your playing field.</p>
Events
<p>Let’s be honest: Work can be exhausting. Even at AEB. But we still have fun – even off the job. Like at our company game nights. With the AEB BÄND. At fusball matches. Or on a ski trip to the Alps. Our legendary AEB parties are organized by us and celebrated together – sometimes even with the whole family.</p>
Making mistakes
Sometimes fast is more important than perfect. Sometimes one project’s error is another project’s insight. Mistakes (almost) always help us grow: you, me, everyone. Because people who know that mistakes are tolerated will not be afraid to take the initiative – to be bold, learn something, try something else, and make it all right.
Social impact
<p>We have a purpose, and it’s not just our software. We also create purpose with the 'AEB-Stiftung', a charitable foundation dedicated to fostering equal opportunity for disadvantaged people through access to education.</p>
Mobility
<p>AEB is a company on the move. Thanks to subsidies that incentivize our employees to use public transportation. Thanks to electric company cars, also available for private use. And thanks to affordable job bikes. Our Stuttgart HQ even has bike parking and EV charging stations.</p>Compensation
<p>You might find another company out there that will offer you a higher starting salary than we do. But the whole package of transparent, semi-annual salary reviews where your voice is heard, plus benefits ranging from job bikes to profit sharing to stock options – that might be harder to find.</p>
Flexible work
<p>No 9-to-5 here: Flexible models means that your work schedule is organized around when you work best. Use our worktime account to fund your time off.</p>
Impact space
<p>We want you: Your ideas, your thoughts, and your ability to move yourself and the company forward. We believe that your authentic self is your best self. That’s why we give you the ability and the space to be who you really are.</p>Sustainability
<p>How did we become a multiplier for sustainability? By installing our own photovoltaic systems, and sponsoring our own piece of peatland. But most importantly, by the activities and attitude of our colleagues. Having sustainability in mind in all their decisions.</p>Fitness for everybody
<p>As part of our health promotion, we subsidize a membership in the EGYM Wellpass network. This gives employees the opportunity to benefit from various sports activities in their area. Everything is included: fitness studios, swimming pools, yoga and more. The partnerships currently cover Germany and Austria.</p>
Mental health
<p>Even though we always offer space for exchange, help, or advice, we sometimes also need a confidential and anonymous contact when we have problems. To help you keep your mental health, we work with Instahelp, a digital platform that offers psychological counseling and prevention. Within a very short period of time, you can get in touch with an experienced psychologist to get counseling and support via the platform.</p>
Diversity
<p>We are continuously striving to create an inclusive environment that embraces diversity and meets the individual needs of all people. What this means: We do not tolerate any discrimination, be it based on age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background or religion. A community of people from all divisions is working on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives to ensure AEB remains a welcoming place where every individual can thrive.</p>Variable remuneration
<p>The best way to work is to have common goals and achieve them cooperatively. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">That's why, as a permanent employee, you get paid a variable remuneration each year. The amount is based on the success of our last financial year and is calculated by X percent of your last year's salary.</span></p>
Space and time: how we design flexible work schedules.
Susanne
Flexibility and passion projects
“A few years ago, I first reduced my working hours to 85%, then to 60%.
I use my free time for my work as a naturopath. It's the ideal balance for me, as I've always been interested in naturopathy. It's a great feeling to be able to help people.”
— Susanne
Matthias
Being there for my family
“For me it’s 85 percent. My wife works three days, so I get the kids ready for daycare in the morning and sometimes pick them up and then take care of them in the afternoon. So my work schedule gives me exactly the flexibility I need. I’m on site in Mainz about once a week, and soon I’ll be going there with my new job bike.”
— Matthias
Susanne
Jobs that complement each other
“After my second parental leave, I couldn’t imagine returning to a desk job at 75 percent. That’s why I decided to work outdoors in nature for a few hours a week. Now I work 60 percent at AEB and at a gardening company on the side. This combination turned out to be a great fit for me – the jobs complement each other well.”

Thomas
Summer volunteering
“I use our annualized worktime model to save up overtime. This allows me to take off more time in the summer to volunteer at kids’ camps.”
