Transparency is important to us. Both when it comes to working with other members of our team as well as with our customers.

At target, we nurture a culture of open doors and open ears. We treat our colleagues and customers with respect: We listen to each other, speak openly and honestly and provide reliable information. 

Our symposium took place again at the arthotel in Heidelberg on May 31 and June 1, 2022. Also this year many customers and interested parties accepted our invitation.

Here is some feedback from the participants:

target’s working practices are characterized by flat hierarchies and fast decision-making processes. Even the boss’ door is (almost) always open. We work in small teams; both consultants and developers have direct contact with the customers. A personal mentor is assigned to each newcomer during the induction phase to answer any questions.

We offer a diverse range of products and services, so being able to work independently is both desirable and necessary. In addition to designing our applications, developers are also charged with the task of installing and implementing those applications at pilot customers. target consultants are responsible for designing customer projects and adapting the solution to suit the customer’s specific requirements. They are also responsible for Go Live support and change management.

Our workstations are equipped with the latest technical equipment. Our developers use the latest software development methods. Our employees are involved in the selection of your computer as well as peripheral devices. PCs and smartphones can also be used privately. Whenever feasible, we allow our employees to work from home.  

When it comes to a great working environment we don’t just talk the talk; we walk the walk. The many joint activities organized for the target team outside work (joint lunch in the canteen, company outings, barbecues in our own atrium and a Christmas party with the partners) attest to that.
