Ich bin mit großer Vorfreude zu Brainlab gekommen und hatte aufgrund des innovativen Umfelds hohe Erwartungen. Leider habe ich die Zusammenarbeit und Unternehmenskultur in meiner Zeit dort deutlich kritischer erlebt.
Im Rahmen einer Ausgründung war ich an der Schnittstelle zwischen Marketing und dem neuen Unternehmen tätig. Dabei habe ich die Zusammenarbeit innerhalb des Marketings als wenig kooperativ erlebt. Die zusätzliche Verantwortung für die Ausgründung wurde aus meiner Wahrnehmung eher als Belastung denn als gemeinsames strategisches Projekt verstanden. Klare Ownership und ausreichend dedizierte Ressourcen waren aus meiner Sicht nicht gegeben.
Gleichzeitig wurden bestehende, teilweise sehr komplexe und langwierige Prozesse auf die neue Organisation übertragen. Für ein neu aufzubauendes Unternehmen führte dies zu unnötigen Abstimmungen, langen Entscheidungswegen und einer aus meiner Sicht vermeidbaren Ineffizienz.
Auch die Führungskultur habe ich kritisch erlebt. Von meiner direkten Führungskraft hätte ich mir insbesondere in schwierigen Situationen mehr Rückhalt, klare Positionierung und eine stärkere Vertretung der Interessen des Teams gewünscht. Stattdessen hatte ich zunehmend den Eindruck, dass interne Abstimmungen sowie unterschiedliche Interessen auf Managementebene die Zusammenarbeit beeinflussten.
Besonders enttäuschend war der Umgang mit meinem Ausscheiden. Nach zuvor durchweg positivem Feedback fand über mehrere Wochen kaum noch Kommunikation statt. Das abschließende Gespräch empfand ich als wenig konstruktiv und nicht transparent. Nachvollziehbare Gründe für die Entscheidung wurden mir nicht vermittelt.
Brainlab verfügt über hervorragende Produkte und fachlich sehr gute Mitarbeitende. Umso mehr würde ich mir wünschen, dass sich diese Qualität auch stärker in der internen Zusammenarbeit widerspiegelt, durch klare Verantwortlichkeiten, mehr Agilität, echte bereichsübergreifende Kooperation und eine Führungskultur, die Mitarbeitende auch in schwierigen Situationen unterstützt.

Gym und Kantine sind TOP!
For two decades now, I’ve walked in and out of Brainlab’s doors - and it still doesn’t feel like routine, but like a privilege. I completed my apprenticeship here as an IT specialist for system integration (Fachinformatiker für Systemintegration), so I can’t compare Brainlab to other employers. But perhaps you don’t need comparisons when you’ve found a place that continues to feel right, year after year. There have been countless reasons to stay - and apparently never enough to leave.
I was trained well, not only in technical expertise but also on a human level. Shortly after finishing my apprenticeship, I was entrusted with a critical part of our infrastructure - supported with trust, room to grow, and colleagues who coached, challenged, and inspired me. I had the chance to work on countless complex projects, side by side with colleagues who have long since become close friends.
Today, five years into leading a team within our Corporate IT, I feel the same as I did back then: pride, joy, and purpose.
Brainlab develops software that helps doctors around the world save lives. The impact is real. And every morning I know that what we do here matters. Is there anything more fulfilling?
Brainlab offers so much for its employees: an entirely free in-house gym, fantastic subsidized meals, unforgettable parties, and regular training opportunities.
I was even able to take a sabbatical. Brainlab supports growth, wellbeing, and development.
Brainlab is led in a very dynamic way - and yes, that very dynamism can makes it challenging at times. Decisions move quickly, priorities shift, and situations arise that no handbook could prepare you for. But we navigate these challenges together. Solutions are never created in isolation, but through open exchange, collaboration, and genuine teamwork. Even the complex becomes solvable when shared.
All these elements have brought us to where we are today: one of the most innovative med-tech companies in the world.
After 20 years, I can say without hesitation: Brainlab is not just my employer. It is the place where I grew up, where I was trusted with responsibility, where innovation is truly tangible, and where people matter.
And every day, I look forward to contributing my small part to a truly meaningful mission. Together we're making an impact!
A bit more flexibility for Home Office.
Overall, Brainlab offers a great working environment, and I truly like the idea behind asking employees to be in the office three days a week. It strengthens collaboration, communication, and the overall team spirit.
But I would love to offer more flexibility as a manager, especially for colleagues with family abroad. It would be a wonderful addition if we could allow them to extend a trip home by one or two weeks and work remotely from there.
I fully understand that there may be legal or logistical hurdles - but perhaps not impossible ones. Even a small amount of additional flexibility could make a big difference in personal wellbeing and job satisfaction, especially for our international team members who are highly valued.
After almost 20 years at Brainlab IT, the atmosphere still feels special. It’s open, friendly, and filled with people who genuinely care about what they do. Even when things get hectic, the way we treat each other stays respectful and supportive. Many of us have been here for a long time, and that creates a sense of togetherness that honestly feels a bit like family. I have the pleasure to work with some of my best friends for years!
Whenever I tell people I work at Brainlab, the reaction is always excitement. And when I explain what we actually do, people are just impressed. Working for a company that develops technology used to save lives is something I feel proud of every day.
Many of us are ready to walk the extra mile - for their teammates, our products, and our customers. At the same time, Brainlab offers a lot that helps maintain balance: a fully financed gym, amazing subsidized food, flexibility for personal matters, and even a sabbatical, which I was grateful to take. You get the trust to manage your own balance, even when the work can be demanding.
I started here as an apprentice and grew into a manager role. That was possible because I was always supported - through coaching, mentoring, training, and trust. If you want to develop your career, Brainlab gives you the opportunity to do so.
The salary at Brainlab is fair and grows with your experience, responsibilities and with the years. In my case, staying with the company long-term has paid off. I feel fairly compensated and appreciated, not just through salary but also through the overall benefits package: amazing food, the fully financed gym, great events, training opportunities, and many small extras that show real appreciation.
I appreciate the many everyday decisions that show Brainlab’s awareness in this area. There are always vegetarian and vegan options, and even the free coffee stations come with oat milk. In IT, we constantly work on being more efficient and environmentally friendly, with many initiatives running quietly (also within IT) in the background that make a real difference.
This is probably the biggest reason I’ve stayed for two decades: the people. We’ve handled so many complex projects together, and many colleagues have become friends. We support each other, we laugh together, we face challenges as a team and spend even private time together.
That spirit has carried us a long way.
Age has honestly never played a big role at Brainlab. What has always mattered is what you bring to the table - your ideas, your experience, your attitude. The mix of younger and more experienced colleagues has always been one of our strengths, and everyone is aware of that.
As I am also not the youngest anymore, throughout all these years at Brainlab, I’ve always felt fully supported - both personally and in my role - by my manager as well as by HR. No matter the age, people are valued for who they are and what they contribute.
Leadership at Brainlab is dynamic and sometimes fast-changing. Priorities shift, decisions come quickly, and you need to stay adaptable. But you’re never alone in that. We work through challenges together and always try to find solutions as a team. As a manager, I personally try to support everyone individually and consider their personal situations - and that approach is very much aligned with the culture here.
The working conditions are excellent: modern offices, great equipment, a fully financed gym, and a company restaurant that honestly cooks at near fine-dining quality. It even won a national award for the best corporate restaurant in Germany. You can feel that employee well-being is taken seriously.
Brainlab is very dynamic, so communication must happen fast and directly. That can be challenging at times, but you always find someone who listens, thinks with you, and helps to find a solution. Conversations are straightforward and honest.
Equality at Brainlab is truly lived, not just stated. From day one, I was treated as a full and valued team member - never “just an apprentice,” but an equal colleague. Everyone gets real opportunities.
Recently, we also launched an LGBTQ+ initiative. It reflects how seriously Brainlab takes inclusion and how committed we are to creating a workplace where everyone can feel safe, respected, and welcome.
There’s no shortage of interesting and meaningful work. Right after my apprenticeship, I was entrusted with critical parts of our infrastructure. Since then, I’ve been part of countless exciting and complex projects. What motivates me most is knowing that the products we develope support doctors in saving lives - around the world. That purpose drives me every single day.
Communication with all hierarchy levels relatively easy. Decisions are taken fast for a big company. Good and collaborative atmosphere. The gym and restaurant.
Career development and little to no salary increases.
Work on gender equality. Allowance for unpaid holiday would be a plus.
The work atmosphere is pretty good — colleagues are collaborative, and the overall environment is positive and supportive. You can influence and change things.
Very nice building and design.
No personal development and the training budget is very small. Not many learning opportunities in general. Working here feels like everything you ask for is too expensive.
Very difficult to get a salary increases.
Very good
In my department quite good.
Communication could be improved. No clear company strategy and no long term project priorization.
It is quite obvious that men are the favorite choice for Management positions.
The tasks are interesting and you can have an impact. Still start up spirit, so there's no structured project teams, budget and resource planning.
Schlechte Führung führt zu keinen Miteinander
Kein HO Kumtur
Passive Mobbing wird unterstützt
Keine Entscheidungsfreiheit: alles von Pben
Gutes Gym, gute Kantine.
Das Management macht keine Fehler, das Management ist der Fehler!

Die Kolleg:inn:en sind fast alle top
Hier würde ich sehr gerne negativ bewerten. Achtung: Im Management sind Gestalten mit fragwürdiger mentaler Kapazität am Ruder!
Negatives wird unter den Teppich gekehrt.
The office space and exterior presentation are genuinely modern and impressive. The infrastructure is top-notch and certainly presents a beautiful, professional facade.
Unfortunately, the striking exterior is a stark contrast to the toxic culture inside. The work environment is heavily defined by micro-management and excessive control, particularly from my direct manager.
• Management Style: My manager created an atmosphere of constant pressure, expecting immediate day and night responses. Tasks were often vague or unclear, yet followed by continuous, high-pressure questioning. Critical access and resources needed to complete the job were often deliberately limited, creating unnecessary roadblocks and frustration.
• Communication & Culture: Communication was exceptionally poor. Instead of clear guidance, there were instances of unprofessional behavior and yelling for no clear or productive reason. This created a stressful, demotivating, and emotionally draining atmosphere.
• Work-Life Balance: Due to the almost 24/7 pressure and expectation of constant availability, the work-life balance was non-existent.
The company needs a fundamental shift in its leadership and management philosophy. Invest in training for managers on constructive feedback, clear delegation, and professional communication. A zero-tolerance policy for yelling or aggressive behaviour should be strictly enforced to foster a respectful and healthy culture.
