What Our Employees Say about PrepLounge

I've been with PrepLounge since 2020, and I'm genuinely happy. Over the past years, we've achieved so much, climbed many mountains together, and emerged stronger from some valleys. What I particularly like: when we go out for team events, it doesn't matter where I sit, it's always enjoyable, and that's not something to be taken for granted.

I was able to learn a lot at PrepLounge, after my lateral move from university, and the trust from my team lead allowed me to develop quickly, both professionally and personally. The open culture gives me the feeling that my opinion really counts, which quickly made me feel as a part of the whole. From the beginning on, I was given the opportunity to organize my work independently, and was also given the freedom to reduce my working hours to a 4-day week.
The team acts as one, and we have a lot of fun together, both in the office and outside of work.

PrepLounge thrives on its young, dynamic team, where team spirit and mutual support are top priorities. In addition, there is a diverse daily routine, flat hierarchies, flexible working hours, a lot of personal responsibility, and an office in the heart of Cologne. This makes work fun!

I've been with PrepLounge for over 10 years now, and I still look forward to working with such a fantastic, dynamic team of bright minds every day. Creating real value for our users is truly fulfilling. Thank you!

At PrepLounge, I particularly appreciate the comprehensive insights into different areas of the company and the diverse development opportunities that each of us has here. What makes the work special is our great team - a group of people who always work together, even when things don't go according to plan. And our team events? They're the cherry on top that makes working here not only productive, but also unforgettable

A satisfied, happy and motivated team is the basis for our success at PrepLounge. That's why we attach particular importance to ensuring that everyone feels completely comfortable. We make decisions together, take time for personal development and discuss issues openly. This culture is very important to me and I am super grateful for our great team, with whom we have already achieved so much and plan much more!

At PrepLounge, you can expect a dynamic team that tackles joint projects with passion. Here, everyone has the opportunity to fully utilise their own strengths and constantly grow. In this inspiring environment, you not only learn new skills, but also familiarise yourself with different areas by taking on a variety of tasks.

PrepLounge was a stroke of luck for me! Stumbling upon it by chance, I didn't yet realize that I would encounter a strong and warm-hearted team, an open and communicating corporate culture, and active encouragement and support for my ongoing professional education and development. Plus, my table tennis skills have also improved thanks to the table tennis matches in my lunch breaks.

Refreshingly unconventional, highly motivated, and humorous team! Respectful communication on an equal footing, fantastic working atmosphere.

PrepLounge not only provides a team-oriented and pleasant working environment but has also given me an overall positive work experience since my interview. As a working student, I appreciate the diversity of my tasks and the delegation of responsible assignments. This creates a challenging and enriching atmosphere that motivates me to give my best every day.

In the early stages of my studies, I was looking for a working student position and was unsure which company would be the best fit for me. Upon joining PrepLounge, I got to know the young team and the company culture, and immediately felt comfortable. Within just a few months, I have already learned a lot and gained insights into all areas of the company.

The flexible working hours allow me to integrate my work seamlessly into my typical student routine. Each workday is characterized by diversity and a steep learning curve. I am grateful to be a part of the team!
