Benefits of living in Austria
In 2019, a global study ranked Austria second in terms of quality of life. Vienna has topped the list of “Most Livable Cities in the world” for ten years in a row. Austria also ranks high when it comes to press freedom as well as women’s and human rights.
Austria is an incredibly safe country—crime is rare; violent crime even rarer. Healthcare is universal and accessible. Most health concerns and medications are covered, and the quality of treatment is generally excellent. The education system, influenced by the world's best systems is well-developed. Offering free kindergarten, pre-school, and public primary and secondary school, the Austrian population is well-educated. Students can even choose between vocational and academic schools.
In Austria, you get two extra salaries per year. These are added to your yearly income and are called the 13th and 14th salaries. They are paid at the same time as June and November salaries. You also receive five weeks of annual leave per year.
What our internationals think & say
Alejandro Camba
Software Engineer who relocated to Klagenfurt from Venezuela
"Relocation is always stressful, especially during such a difficult year because of the pandemic (2021). Dynatrace supported me all the way and always said they'd wait as long as they had to in order to get me on board. And they waited 8 months. People at Dynatrace are very warm, open, and friendly, integration wasn't a problem at all. I also speak some German, so I really enjoy the language and culture. My routine as of today goes: Football on Tuesdays, Bowling practice on Wednesdays."
Viktoria Jakab
Technical Product Specialist who relocated to Vienna from Hungary
"As I am a young professional, the financial support that Dynatrace provided was essential, because the moving process came with a lot of expenses. My relocation experience was great thanks to this package and the comprehensive assistance of my relocation agent. I respect and appreciate that Dynatrace welcomes international employees and fosters a diverse and inclusive culture. In addition, it was great to be welcomed by a buddy from the same country who could help me with my Hungary-specific questions and shared some best practices for the transformation."
Maksim Tsikhamirau
Software Engineer who relocated from to Linz from Belarus
"The relocation process went as smoothly as it could. I was in close touch with all questions regarding documents, legalization, points to score to meet Austrian authorities' requirements, etc. All my concerns, questions, problems were managed in the shortest possible time. In addition, as an international, I have access to lots of useful internal resources that can help in daily life - taxes, social services, some daily routines that are evident or natural for Austrians, but not for an international."
Raphael Malman
ACE Cloud Engineer who relocated to Linz from Brazil
"My family moved across the ocean and got the best treatment possible: from relocation expenses benefits to hiring specialists to help to find a school, and residence cards for my children and wife. It was an astonishing experience how much effort my Dynatrace colleagues made to make me feel comfortable and embraced during the time while my family had to wait before relocating. The social benefits, such as tax deduction, sports centers, and cultural events offered in Austria are by far the best I have ever seen."
John Cheung
Content Designer & UX Writer who relocated to Linz from Serbia
"We relocated from Belgrade to Linz at the pandemic’s peak in November 2020. From day one I appreciated the great service and the help with all the paperwork. Or relocation consultant always went the extra mile. It was extremely reassuring to have a team proactively and reliably supporting us throughout the relocation. At Dynatrace, there are people from 12 or 13 different countries just in my team and we work closely with colleagues in the US, Poland, and Spain. Dynatrace does a lot to help you settle in as an international, with social events after work, free German classes, and a dedicated Slack international community channel."
