Zühlke Engineering (Austria) GmbH

Salary & Perks

Zühlke is a great employer and you will probably only ever meet nice people (in Austria and all other locations). This is part of company culture. But if you are after the big bucks, Zühlke is the wrong place. Directly after university, you'll probably start at around ~3k gross annual salary. It will take years until you grow out of this salary bracket. This is also a reason why most developers I've worked with left the company after ~3 years. It's a very friendly and growth-oriented place to start your career after university, but the salary just isn't enough to keep you there. I've moved on after approximately 4 years (not because of the salary, but it surely was not helping) with a 30% pay raise. This would have taken me ages to achieve within Zühlke.
