Individual workstation

We have a large trading room in our office in Pfaffenhofen and open-plan offices for the individual departments. Alongside this, there are side rooms for discussions or where you can hold telephone calls. Facilities to relax during breaks come in the form of the reading corner and a games room with tabletop football, table tennis, a pinball machine and projector.

Work behind the historical facade at the Berlin site is pleasant. Our office is on the 4th floor of the famous renovated Cumberland House, which was built in 1911/12 as an impressive “boarding palace” by the architect Robert Leibnitz (who was also the architect of the old “Hotel Adlon”).

All employees can arrange their own workstations in the office to suit their individual needs. Our in-house IT consultant will help you to select appropriate software and hardware, such as the optimum screen set-up. A decision is made together on how many screens the employee requires for his work and which resolution (4K, full HD, ultra HD) is the most suitable.

Every employee will be given an additional computer (desktop or laptop) and a second screen set-up for working from home so, there too, he can design his workstation as he wishes
