I would compare the work in Quality Assurance with the work of an investigator. It often involves routine processes with a lot of documentation (reading and writing) but as soon as a “crime case” (i.e. a change in the system, new functionality, etc.) falls into our laps, the “quest for clues” begins. This is where I try to chase down potential “perpetrators” (in other words, errors). In doing so, I also take a creative approach rather than just a systematic one.

What I love most at Strauss alongside the daily business: the people. I interact a lot with colleagues during my investigations. We always come up with solutions together. And I can always rely on my team. We share a lot of laughs together and enjoy our work. That’s really worth a lot, especially when there happens to be a lot of “crime cases” to solve!

I’ve been here for almost ten years and have been able to experience the rapid development of Strauss at first hand. Ten years in which there have been exciting challenges to overcome again and again.

My area of responsibility: drawing up, maintaining and monitoring new developments. I also support my colleagues in Development in the deploying of newly developed components and in the analysis and elimination of problems.

There’s a lot on offer at Strauss: from its own nursery to a fitness centre! A family company that’s actively pro-family!

Whether its the redesign of our online shop or the further development of our merchandise management system, as a business analyst, I’m the interface between the various departments and the developers. I look for the pertinent answers to the questions and requirements of the departments and work together with my colleagues on the continuous further development of our inhouse software.

And community isn’t just a hollow phrase here – you’ll notice this at the very latest when your colleague becomes your training partner and you can motivate each other to give it all you’ve got again after work in the company’s own fitness studio...

In system administration it is especially important to work with focus and concentration – one click can have massive repercussions. We manage all basic systems, servers and storages in the background. When everything goes according to plan, our colleagues don’t even notice the work that we do.

I’m fascinated by the pioneer spirit at Strauss IT. We’re always one step ahead and never miss a trick. IT is highly valued in our company – we feel this appreciation in the team.

I came to Strauss IT Support as a career changer and had the chance here to reinvent myself. If it can be plugged in, I take care of it, and together with my team I assist everybody at Strauss when it comes to technical problems. The cool thing is, we’re networked throughout the entire building ;-). As well as my daily doings in Support, I look after various internal projects – this makes my work very diversified.

The Support division puts a lot of emphasis on teamwork. Everybody helps everybody else out – and everybody is up for a little fun!
