About Accso
What is Accso?
Accso – Accelerated Solutions GmbH is a German software-engineering and digitalisation consultancy that has, in its own words, "developed custom software solutions since 2010" ("Accso entwickelt seit 2010 individuelle Softwarelösungen"). The company positions itself as a "digital partner for demanding bespoke software solutions" ("Digitalpartner für anspruchsvolle Softwarelösungen nach Maß"), helping clients across many industries with the "consulting, planning, conception and implementation of digital-transformation projects." Its work spans five core areas: Software Engineering, Cloud, Cyber Security, AI & Data ("KI & Daten") and Process Automation ("Prozessautomatisierung"). Accso's guiding mission is striking in its simplicity: "Software für eine bessere Welt" — software for a better world.
Where will I work?
Accso operates from five offices ("fünf Standorte"): Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Köln (Cologne), München (Munich) and Cape Town in South Africa, with its headquarters in Darmstadt. The working model is genuinely flexible and hybrid. The company tells candidates "Work mostly when and where you want" ("Arbeite meist wann und wo du willst"), explaining that "you shape your home-office share individually, which results in a relaxed, hybrid working model" ("Du gestaltest deinen Home-Office-Anteil individuell. Daraus entsteht ein lockeres, hybrides Arbeitsmodell"). There are no fixed in-office mandates, and most projects are remote-friendly.
What is the Accso team like?
The team — affectionately called "Accsonaut:innen" — has grown to "more than 270" people ("über 270 Accsonaut:innen"). Culturally, Accso emphasises "openness to new technologies, the courage to change, and the joy of shaping things together" ("Offenheit für neue Technologien, der Mut zur Veränderung und die Lust am gemeinsamen Gestalten"), backed by an "open feedback culture" that "encourages initiative." Job postings promise "appreciation and collaboration on equal footing" ("Wertschätzung & Zusammenarbeit auf Augenhöhe") and active knowledge-sharing through "14 internal communities and networks (e.g. ML, Green IT, Architecture, IoT)." Accso has been recognised by Great Place to Work Germany every year for five years running, most recently as one of Germany's Best Employers 2026 and Best Employers in IT/Telecommunications (ITK) 2026.
Work-Life Balance
Flexibility is central to how Accso works. Beyond the hybrid, self-directed home-office model, employees can choose their own working volume: "There are Accsonauts on 40% to 90% part-time, with 80% being the most common" ("Es gibt Accsonaut:innen mit 40% bis 90% Teilzeit. 80% ist dabei am häufigsten"), and switching to part-time after starting full-time is possible. Job postings highlight "family-friendly working hours" ("Familienfreundliche Arbeitszeiten"), and the company offers a sabbatical option and "Workation" for those wanting to combine work and travel.
Perks and Benefits
Accso's benefits, listed verbatim across its job postings, include "Jobrad [a bike-leasing scheme], Workation, Sabbatical, a childcare subsidy and health programmes" ("Jobrad, Workation, Sabbatical, Kinderbetreuungszuschuss, Gesundheitsprogramme und vieles mehr"). Professional development is generous: every employee receives "12 training days per year" ("12 Weiterbildungstage pro Jahr") — roughly one per month — freely chosen across IT, methodology, soft skills and leadership topics. New joiners can also "choose their own equipment" ("Du wählst dir deine Arbeitsmittel selbst aus") — smartphone, laptop and accessories. Accso adds a "fair compensation model" where "final pay is based on your qualifications and prior experience."
