We want to achieve great things.

Together, in the best and most authentic way.

To us, it’s important that our employees like coming to work in the morning and feel at home with us. Is everyone always happy and content? Probably not, but we do our best to make them so. We listen to our employees in order to learn about their wishes, opinions and ideas and translate them into action.

How we work

Blazing trails and driving innovation

Contributing ideas, forging ahead with themes and projects, getting things done. We listen to each other, are honest with each other, and work together to come up with solutions that are pragmatic yet well-reasoned. For us internally as well as for our clients. We are passionate about what we do.

Get moving and have fun

The goals we set ourselves are ambitious. That’s why we give it all we’ve got while we’re at work. It’s the only way we can all make progress. However, it doesn’t mean missing out on fun. That’s why we meet up regularly for events that give us a tremendous boost.

Be casual: professional yet relaxed

We are serious and professional when dealing with clients and projects but „casual“ and relaxed in look and feel. This also means we adopt an informal tone and use the casual „Du“ form when talking to each other.

Making solutions possible

We support each other when dealing with issues, tackling challenges, working on projects and going about our daily business. This reciprocal knowledge transfer and helpfulness give us the drive to get ahead.

The people and tasks at CLADE

Management

They organise and optimise operating processes besides developing and managing teams – always with the goal of fostering CLADE's innovative strength and offering our clients first-class service.

Operations

CLADE's operations department has two key teams that work hand in hand: production and service. The production team is made up of mechatronics engineers, electrical engineers and construction technicians who manufacture our devices. Our service team offers technical support and maintenance on our clients' premises and ensures that our CLADE MIRA analysers are always working perfectly.

The purchasing team optimizes procurement processes, the IT team makes sure that our technology runs smoothly, and the information security team protects sensitive corporate data.

What our employees say about us

"I thought the relaxed yet authoritative tone in the recruiting process was great. The same goes for the immense flexibility."

Christine

Business Partner People & Culture

"What convinced me was the 'uniqueness' of the technology and the possibilities it holds for analytical applications. I'd been wanting to work for a company that uses infrared spectroscopy, and I'm really happy about all the different projects I'm allowed to take on. What impresses me all over again every day is the marvellous working climate and the great colleagues, who are always willing to help."

Florian

Data Scientist

"CLADE has the great spirit of a dynamic, genuine and energetic start-up."

Payam

Data Scientist

"I wanted to find an employer who took their employees' work life balance seriously and not just pretended to take it seriously. At CLADE I found somewhere that practices what they preach. At CLADE "family/employee friendly" are not just empty phrases- they are the living, breathing reality."

Barry

Accountant

"The many positive sides, the way people treat each other, the dynamic, the conversations, the opportunities to make a difference – all this makes you warm to CLADE very quickly, and then it's hard to tear yourself away."
