Testimonials

«Immediately after my one-year internship, I received a temporary position as a clerk in the secretariat, which is intended for apprenticeship and internship graduates. After another year, I was able to take on a responsible and permanent position in the personnel department. This, although I did not yet meet all the requirements. A great opportunity to gain a foothold in human resources management!»

«After my graduation, I came to METAS as a scientist.Here I really like that I can work on my project independently and that there is well equipped laboratory available for it. What I also especially like is the atmosphere and general helpfulness among the colleagues in the same group just as from other divisions. The possibility of comparing notes with other researchers on conferences or project meetings helps additionally to enlarge the own knowledge.»
