Each winner of their respective category will receive a Digital winner's badge to be displaced on their website and marketing material, ultimately solidifying their position as a forward-thinking MedTech leader.
The Kununu Top 10

1) MELAG Medizintechnik
Berlin, Germany
Kununu Score: 4.4
Recommendation: 97%
What Employees Say
"I worked in quality assurance and felt very comfortable from day one. The team atmosphere was very friendly, and you could always rely on your colleagues – even across departments. The "open door" policy of the CEO and department head is a lived experience, not just an empty phrase."
"Important information about the company was shared openly via the intranet. An effort was also made to explain decisions in a clear and understandable way."
"Everyone could rely on each other. Collaboration with colleagues from other departments also worked well. Support was a given."
2) Dr. Ausbüttel & Co.
Dortmund, Germany
Kununu Score: 4.3
Recommendation: 79%
What Employees Say
"As a new employee, you receive a truly warm welcome. There's an onboarding plan, and generally all the necessary tools and training procedures are organized for new employees before they start. The occasional hiccup or lack of support is due to the nature of Dr. Ausbüttel's rapid growth."
"We've been truly lucky with our manager! If I could bake myself a manager, she would be just like that. Appreciative, respectful, empathetic, always in a good mood – sounds pretentious, but it's true 🙂 People trust each other here. This was also completely new territory for me when I started at Dr. Ausbüttel."
"There's no shortage of interesting tasks!
If someone has potential, it's quickly recognized. In our department, the "throw them in at the deep end" approach prevails. However, it's always emphasized that you can contact us at any time if you encounter problems or reach your limits."
3) Gebr. Brasseler GmbH
Lemgo, Germany
Kununu Score: 4.1
Recommendation: 93%
What Employees Say
"As a student employee, I was able to organize my working hours flexibly and easily work from home. This made it ideal for combining my studies with my studies, and even short-term changes to my working hours were possible at any time."
4) Sysmex Europe SE
Norderstedt, Germany
Kununu Score: 4.1
Recommendation: 81%
What Employees Say
"Very good. The offices are a bit older, but OneB is coming soon. Home offices will be fully equipped if needed."
"Numerous CSR initiatives throughout the year and several environmental measures, including certification. Company cars will soon be exclusively electric."
"Super."
5) OCULUS Optikgeräte
Wetzlar, Germany
Kununu Score: 4.0
Recommendation: 73%
What Employees Say
"We support each other across different disciplines. Personally, I found it very beneficial to foster contacts outside my own discipline and thus gain different perspectives on topics."
"I feel that the concept of flexitime allows for a good work-life balance, some colleagues also work part-time and the option of a sabbatical is also offered"
"If you're committed and WANT to learn something new, you'll get the opportunity, provided you're professionally and personally suited. My work is varied."
6) Erbe Electromedicine
Tübingen, Germany
Kununu Score: 3.9
Recommendation: 82%
What Employees Say
"Anything you need to know is communicated promptly.
If you expect to know every decision made by management and want the reasons for it, you'll certainly be disappointed, but what company offers that?
If it's important to you, just ask instead of getting upset about it."
"I really enjoy my job, and working on projects always brings variety.
Of course, there are also things that come up again and again, but that doesn't diminish the variety of tasks."
"Ergonomic workstations, a second screen if required will be installed within a few days."
7) Medtronic
Meerbusch, Germany
Kununu Score: 3.9 / 5
Recommendation: 80%
What Employees Say
"The team spirit is exceptional. People support each other, share knowledge openly, and stand up for each other even in stressful situations. New colleagues are quickly integrated and valued."
"The atmosphere at Medtronic is characterized by respect, openness, and team spirit. Colleagues support one another, and interactions are consistently friendly and professional. Even in challenging times, the working relationship remains constructive and motivating."
"Communication is transparent and open. Information is shared regularly – both at the team and company level. Managers are approachable, and feedback is given in an appreciative and constructive manner."
8) Anton Gerl
Cologne, DE
Kununu Score: 3.9
Recommendation: 80%
What Employees Say
"The atmosphere at this company is very positive. You're treated with kindness and appreciation from day one. It's a lot of fun to work with your colleagues and solve problems."
"This company stands for long-term employment. Some colleagues have been with the company for 30 years or more. And when someone is no longer able to work as they please, alternatives are readily available to ease the burden on colleagues."
"Absolutely top-notch. Everything you need to work is provided, and great importance is placed on your well-being. Even special requests are accommodated."
9) ResMed Germany
Martinsried, Germany
Kununu Score: 3.9
Recommendation: 59%
What Employees Say
"In my team, communication is a top priority. Issues are addressed and acknowledged."
"Everyone helps everyone else and you are not left alone with your issues."
"My supervisor always makes time for me and my issues. He consults me on important matters and supports me in making decisions."
10) Amoena
Raubling, Germany
Kununu Score: 3.8
Recommendation: 83%
What Employees Say
"Definitely very good, whether within the department or across departments."
"Quality management, the works council, and many others are constantly working on"
"There's a so-called "retirement day" for employees of a certain age. Definitely not something every company offers."
