Careers

… because we want to do things differently

Flat hierarchies, a high ropes course twice a year, table football in the office – and, at some point, an ‘okay’ salary. You may have heard promises like these before. Things work differently with us.

Employees first. Then the clients will be happy too.

For me, my employees are above all one thing: the most important resource we have. What good is it to me if my clients are satisfied but my employees are burnt out, dissatisfied or demotivated?

My job is to make my employees as satisfied as possible. If I align my decisions with that, the clients will automatically be happy.

You often used to hear sentences like ‘Applicants can count themselves lucky to work for us’. That wasn’t true even back then. I can count myself lucky when qualified professionals decide to work with me – and I will do everything I can to make sure they are happy to stay.

Money, money, money – not everything, but very important

Money is not the only reason people work, but it is certainly one of the most important. That is why we are transparent, so you know what to expect.

Base salary paid as 13 monthly salaries
It depends on your experience and any additional responsibilities such as line management.
Uncapped, performance-related bonus
It is based on the billable hours you have worked – regardless of the company’s overall success. We will explain exactly how it is calculated in our introductory meeting.

We deliberately keep our overheads low – no expensive offices on Jungfernstieg, no ten-person board. That way, we invest in what matters: our employees. This makes above-average salaries possible.

Mobility the way you want it

Since Covid, a large part of consulting work has taken place remotely or in the office – a development we welcome with our remote-first culture. For many people, however, a car remains indispensable.

As part of your remuneration package, you choose a company car or a first-class BahnCard 100. You can use either for both business and private purposes. We cover fuel, maintenance, tyres and everything else. If you drive an electric car, we will provide a wallbox for your home on request.

Remote doesn’t mean alone

Most of the time, we work remotely. But the best team dynamics develop when we get together, laugh and exchange ideas. That is why we plan a team event three times a year – whether a scavenger hunt through the city, an escape room or a barbecue by the lake.

We are a small company and don’t yet have the event routine of the big players. What we lack in experience, we make up for with enthusiasm. It is not about perfection, but about enjoying time together.

Learning new things and getting better

You don’t learn SAP at school, nor sufficiently at university. That is why we take responsibility for your training and development – whether you are learning the basics fresh from university or want to go deeper into new topics.

You get access to the SAP Learning Hub and to internal and external training, and can then get certified directly by SAP. In your annual review, you plan your goals and your further development together with your manager.

We talk straight.

We are still at the beginning, but we have big plans. With us, you take on responsibility early and implement your ideas independently. We certainly won’t hold you back.
