Your First Day

The VSHN offices are located at Neugasse 6 & 10, in Zurich. The main entrance can be found in Neugasse 10 on the first floor. We’re located a mere 7 minutes away by foot from Zurich Hauptbahnhof (Zurich main train station).

You can choose where you work from and get budget to support your home office. For more details see Personal Workplace Budget and Working remotely.

At VSHN, we work 40 hours per week (percentage of that if working part-time) in a yearly work time concept. This means you can flexibly choose when and how long you work as agreed upon within your team or roles, within some constraints, and it has to balance out over the year. VSHN helps you stay within healthy boundaries. You can carry over overtime into the new year within some constraints. Read more in our Working Hours Policy.

You receive a fixed number of vacation days per year, plus additional days based on your years of working at VSHN. You also get extra days for special occasions. The purpose of time off is to ensure you have enough rest and recovery each year, as well as to celebrate significant events or handle challenging situations in your life. You can carry over some unused days into the new year. Unpaid leaves can be requested. See our Time Off Policy.

A senior VSHNeer will be your Mentor. They will be your primary contact for questions and must make sure that you receive all required information throughout the start of your career at VSHN and your Trial Period (usually the first 3 months).

Once you have finished setting up your workstation, one of the first assignments you will receive is to introduce yourself on our blog. We’ve both an English and a German version of it, so you can choose the language that works better for you. You might want to check out the introductions of some of your new colleagues for inspiration, and to get to know each other better.

This section contains some information about your laptop, monitors, desk, and hardware budget.
