Awarded. And excellent – every day.

UPONU has been awarded as Top Employer 2025 & 2026 by kununu.

Of course, we're happy about it. Who wouldn't be?

But as with many awards, the plaque is ultimately just the visible symbol – the real story happens behind it.

And that's exactly the story we want to tell.

An award is not an end in itself. It doesn't say: "We're done now."

It rather says: "Something is happening that becomes visible."

For us, it's a signal that the culture we work on every day is not only felt internally, but also recognized from the outside. And above all: It's confirmed by the people who experience it daily.

A quote from the kununu feedback sums it up particularly well for us:

"Strong culture, strong brand, dynamic & future-proof."

These eight words say an astonishing amount about UPONU. Perhaps even more than any long explanatory text could.

A strong culture doesn't emerge from benefits, posters, or slogans, but from attitude and lived collaboration.

At UPONU, culture means:

• Direct exchange, even when it gets uncomfortable.
• Taking responsibility, not only when asked.
• Discussing mistakes honestly, instead of hiding them.
• Taking people seriously, regardless of role or title.
• Keeping a sense of humor, even when projects get challenging.

Culture is nothing static. It grows with every person who becomes part of it. It changes. And it must be nurtured – every day.

Ours is growing. Not because we're perfect, but because we talk to each other and learn from each other.

UPONU is not just a company name. It's a promise, both internally and externally. A performance promise – and a cultural one.

A strong brand doesn't emerge through volume, but through clarity, consistency, and authenticity. It becomes strong when what it communicates aligns with what people in the company actually experience.

Our industry changes quickly. For us, future-proof doesn't mean constantly chasing the next trend, but making the right decisions:

• short paths
• fast, clear coordination
• focus on quality
• willingness to learn
• room for development
• solutions that are allowed to grow
• structures that enable responsibility

Technology is important – but people who shape it make the difference.

Not because it shines. But because it confirms:

• That the culture carries.
• That collaboration works.
• That people enjoy working here.
• And that we can grow as a company without losing what makes us who we are.

It shows that the steps we've taken – structurally, organizationally, culturally – are heading in the right direction.

The award is not a goal. It's an interim status. A compass. A moment to pause briefly before continuing to work.

We will continue to grow – with people who want responsibility, who seek to shape things, who don't just have team spirit on their resume, but live it.

And we will continue to ensure that the culture that earned us this award remains exactly that: strong, human, future-proof.
