Depending on the task area, we will have given you a task at your previous interview, which you must present to us now. Together with you, we will then discuss your experiences with this task.

Recruitment
If we have impressed you, and you us, we will discuss the content of your contract with you. Once signed, we will put together an induction program for you, lasting several weeks.

We ask for your understanding if, during the course of the process, you receive notification that we have rejected your application. Please be assured that we check every application equally thoroughly before we make any decisions.

Will I be given training in my working area?

Of course you will be given good training. At Promega, we are of the opinion that good onboarding of new employees is fundamental to the success of the entire team. That's why our induction process is ISO-certified and continuously optimized. Your colleagues from the specialist departments will remain at your disposal for several weeks to answer all your questions. And yet we also make sure that you are involved in the ongoing processes of your department right from day one.

How are "flex time arrangements" understood at Promega?

At Promega, we support trust-based working hours. This means that you and your department can agree on how you will divide up your weekly working hours.
