Because you deserve more – our benefits at a glance

Flexible working – when and how you want

Outstanding consulting doesn't just happen between 9 am and 5 pm in the office. Work wherever you can focus best: in the office, from home, at client sites, or temporarily from abroad. Part-time or a four-day workweek? Let's talk.

Professional & personal growth

You'll start with a mentor and a structured onboarding process. After your first year, you'll have access to certifications, professional development opportunities, and fresh insights into assessment, AI, marketing, and recruiting. You'll also work on projects where your ideas are heard and put into action.

Fully equipped

A laptop, a new iPhone, and noise-cancelling headphones come as standard. You can also use your iPhone privately – fewer devices, fewer cables, less hassle.

Performance pays off

Why settle for just a fixed salary when you deliver outstanding results? With us, you'll receive unlimited bonus potential that rewards every extra mile you go. Ultimately, you're in control of how much you earn.

Vacation & Remote Work

With 33 days of paid vacation, additional days off on your birthday, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, plus opportunities for workations or sabbaticals, you'll have plenty of room for life outside work.

Public transport pass & company pool cars

Whether you're heading to a client meeting, spending a day at the office, or traveling across Germany, we've got you covered with an HVV or Deutschlandticket public transport pass. Company pool cars are available for appointments that aren't easily accessible by train.

Sparring as equals

You'll benefit from weekly one-on-one sparring sessions and a dedicated mentor who supports you from day one. You'll also receive continuous, valuable feedback through our 360-degree feedback system – not just from your manager, but also from your colleagues.

Fitness & Shopping

Wellpass gives you plenty of options: fitness, yoga, swimming, or whatever fits your lifestyle. With Corporate Benefits, you'll also enjoy discounts at more than 600 brands and retailers.

Teamspirit & Dog-friendly Office

You'll be surrounded by people who value ambition and performance without the need for sharp elbows. We celebrate the little moments just as much as the big achievements – with team events, barista-quality coffee, fresh fruit, a candy bar, and special treats. Dogs are always welcome.

Your journey to joining us

There are different ways for us to connect: either you reach out to us or we approach you. However, our internal recruitment process always remains the same – clearly structured, transparent, and focused on one shared goal: finding out whether we're the right fit for each other.

01.

Videocall

As a first step, we'll invite you to a virtual meeting. We'd love to learn more about your experience, skills, and interests – while giving you the opportunity to get a first glimpse into our world. We want to understand what motivates you and what you're looking for in your next career move, so we can explore the best path for your professional future together.

02.

Personal interview

After our initial conversation, we'll invite you to meet your potential manager in person at our office. This is your opportunity to dive deeper into your future role and clarify any remaining questions. Depending on the position and your level of experience, we may also include an online personality assessment or a case study – helping both sides gain a clearer picture of whether we're the perfect match.

03.

Our mutual decision

If we're both convinced it's a great fit, we'll discuss all the relevant details and make you an offer. If you'd like, you'll also have the opportunity to meet your potential team beforehand. This way, we lay the foundation for a successful start together.
