Note on Pay Transparency

Our Compensation Philosophy:

Fair and equitable compensation is firmly rooted in our values - regardless of personal characteristics. To provide certainty early on, we share specific salary information following a brief, non-binding preliminary discussion with our recruiting team. During this discussion, we clarify in advance all role-specific factors that are not yet fully evident from the application materials. This enables us to determine a well-founded and appropriate salary range even before a personal or formal interview takes place.

Compensation Structure and Development:

Our compensation package is standardized for all permanent employees (m/f/d) and includes:

  • FC employee card (tax-free benefit in kind)

  • Contribution to the company pension plan

  • Accident insurance for personal accidents

  • Flexible time account (including overtime pay/time off in lieu) for maximum flexibility

  • Voluntary annual bonus linked to company performance and individual performance

The supplementary and individualized gross salary is based on transparent criteria such as professional experience, technical qualifications, and the respective area of responsibility. Specialized knowledge and personal contribution to results are also taken into account. At our company, career development is guided by both corporate goals and personal objectives. Regular performance reviews serve as the starting point. Relevant development criteria include:

  • Professional competence, methodological competence, and soft skills

  • Commitment and willingness to take on responsibility

  • Demonstrating impact/results and sustained performance

  • Teamwork and exemplifying our work principles
