Take our Culture Check

United States March 27, 2026

In your job you contribute a significant amount of time, present a lot of passion and want to have the ability to express yourself. These goals are best achieved in an environment in which you feel comfortable. Therefore the culture of a company is a crucial indicator. For this reason, we offer you the opportunity to take our Culture Check and get an insight into our Corporate Culture.

This test consists of 8 questions and will take no longer than 5 minutes. Once an answer is selected, it cannot be changed. Remember to always choose the answer that most fits your behaviour.

Please note: The Cultural Check is not an official part of the application. It is absolutely anonymous and only serves to give you an idea in advance.

Find out whether our culture meets your expectations:

Question 1/8

Imagine you are leading a construction department. In addition to your usual tasks, you have been requested to prepare a monthly report about your current projects and the volume of orders. To create this report you will receive a list from the controls department with the required figures and additional information.

I ask some of my colleagues to extend their usual working hours to deliver on the reporting expectations
I get in touch with the Head of Controlling to explore a better way, that means less work for both departments
I inform my manager that the team will not be able to deliver on these reporting expectations because they are a huge strain on the team’s capacity

Question 2/8

Imagine you have just completed a customer project and the machine has been installed at the customer site. While the order was progressing through the relevant stages of supply (sales, engineering, procurement, production, finance), a number of issues were identified. The next order is about to commence. What would you do?

I set up a joint meeting with representatives from each of the departments to understand the challenges in the last order and draw learnings for future orders
I send an email to each of the departments involved, outline the challenges we faced with the first order and request improvements are made for the next order
I ask representatives from each of the departments to take a closer look on their own processes to avoid similar challenges in the future

Question 5/8

Imagine a customer order has been received and processed. After working on the machines for some time, you discover a serious error in the drawings. Fixing the error and the related downstream processes will result in a time extension of at least an additional week but is crucial for the machine to be manufactured correctly. Tomorrow, however, is already the scheduled delivery to the customer. What would you do?

I immediately inform the customer that the planned delivery date is not achievable and explain why. I then work with the relevant teams to rectify the error and regularly keep the customer up to date on the new arrangements
I finish the machine and deliver it in a timely manner. On delivery I make the customer aware of the problem and agree to update them when we the problem is fixed
I stop working on the machine immediately. Then I gather the relevant teams to redesign the manufacturing process. Only once the error is fixed can the machine be sent to the customer

Question 7/8

Imagine you are the Head of Software Development. Your team is currently working on an upgrade of our control unit. Additionally, and for the first time, you are developing an app to control our equipment from your mobile phone. After reviewing the first draft with your team, you notice numerous errors in the layout and functionality. It will take a number of weeks until you have eliminated them. What would you do?

I work with my team and develop a list of all the issues encountered. We then steadily work through the list, prioritizing and fixing each error
I decide to stop development of the app internally and offer the task to external experts
I realise this app development will take much longer than originally planned, so with my team we brainstorm alternatives and agree on a solution with greater functionality

Question 8/8

Imagine you took over the IT department 6 months ago and are asked to evaluate your employees in the annual performance review. In the past few years, one employee has always received the best ratings, however in your opinion, their performance is in need of improvement. What would you do?

I give them a low rating. In the review meeting I offer them both positive and constructive feedback to improve their performance. I also schedule a follow up conversation to explore what excites and frustrates them in the team
I give them a medium rating. In the review meeting I take time to understand how they believe they can improve their performance
I familiarize myself with the previous evaluations, assume my first impressions might be misinformed and give the employee a high rating
