Pia Tönshoff, QA Compliance Officer

"I started at Bavarian Nordic in March 2006, and I certainly don't regret it.

I've worked in QA since I started, but I've had different areas of responsibility, which is also one of the many good things about Bavarian Nordic.

There are lots of challenges here, fortunately, and work is rarely the same from one day to the next. There's not so much 'this is the way we always do it' - I used to hate that in previous jobs - and because Bavarian Nordic is a relatively young and very dynamic company, good input and initiatives are welcome. We work a lot across the organisation, and the tone is informal and open. Humour is an important part of everyday work life, and all the different activities you can go to after work give you lots of opportunities to get to know your colleagues in a completely different way.

My job is really flexible, something I greatly appreciate, and 'freedom with responsibility' is definitely the operative concept."
