Benefits & Work Culture

Nice and familiar. And visionary.

Diehl is a family-run company with a corporate structure and a long success story. It all started in 1902 in Nuremberg - still our company headquarters today. The methods we have been using to develop our innovative technologies for more than 120 years are state-of-the-art. When it comes to the way we work, however, we consciously focus on traditional values such as transparency, integrity and fairness.

We are proud of our history and the approximately 18,600 people who continue the success story every day. Nevertheless, we do not cling to the past, but think and act in new and sometimes unconventional ways in order to be ready for the future. This includes challenges and appreciation as well as clear goals and an operational environment that inspires professionalism and innovative thinking.

The fact that we are a family-run company also shows in the way we treat each other. Team spirit, openness and respect for cultural differences are a given for us. We are a colorful company and live diversity.

  • Our greatest success factor: people.

    We can only be that successful because every day our employees are passionate and committed to create technologies that improve the lives and work of countless people around the world. To ensure that you can pursue at Diehl what is important to you, the environment has to be right. For us, this includes a lot of freedom and personal responsibility as well as targeted and individual measures for your development. It also means a working atmosphere with flat hierarchies, transparency, personal connection and active participation, in which new ideas can emerge.

    Our five corporate divisions offer a wide range of benefits. Depending on your location, you can expect the following attractive benefits.
