For the 13th time in a row, the independent jury of the "Top Employers Institute" has presented EDAG, the world's largest independent development service provider, with a "Top Employer" award in the category "Engineers". Special mention was made of the outstanding working 
conditions at our company locations for example in Fulda, Ingolstadt, Sindelfingen, Munich, Wolfsburg and the it's consistent employee orientation. This year the company won third place in this category.

"An exceptional result, which we are very pleased about and regard as an acknowledgement of our continuous work and quality in HR management.

This is why we are constantly developing talent management within the company, and generating tailored development opportunities that are attractive and actively promote our employees," explains Susanne Brune, Head of Talent/Performance Management.
