“What I look forward to most every week are the office days with the team. When we brainstorm funny slogans together or enjoy a game of pool during the break, the working hours fly by.”

Want to know more?

  • Does Coolblue offer a hybrid workplace?

    Working at the office makes us happy, that’s why we are working partly from home and partly from the office.

  • Can I keep developing myself?

    Coolblue University: learning at Coolblue, in a different way.

    With over 30 training courses in our own Coolblue University, you can get a little bit better every day. At Coolblue, we go back to school sometimes. But not by sitting there quietly and just listening. The training courses aren't boring, but interactive. You have to do exercises and have discussions with others. At the Coolblue University, we choose what we want to learn, so we can continue to develop en become real experts. For example, a Delivery Driver needs different training courses than a Customer Service Employe and a starter needs different courses than a manager.
