What does a typical workday look like in management consulting?
We’ve got good news: the typical consultant week, where you spend Monday through Thursday at the customer and come to the office on Friday, isn’t how we work. We have a nice mix of virtual and on-site projects at our customers. On the whole, we don’t travel as much as we did a few years ago. When you aren’t traveling, you can choose if you want to come into one of our modern offices or if you’d rather work from home.
What does a typical workday look like in data science or logistics engineering?
The biggest difference from management consulting is the kind of tasks – even if they’re just as varied. In the data science team, you’ll mostly handle data analysis and modeling, so your work is more behind the scenes. But you’ll also have projects where you work directly with customers. In logistics engineering, you’ll take on long-term projects to plan and implement intralogistics concepts. Depending on the project phase, you’ll be either on-site at the customer or you can choose to work from a 4flow office or remotely from home.
How big are the project teams?
Project teams are usually made of 3 to 5 people. We build these teams anew for every project, so together you’ll have the competencies you need to tackle your tasks.
Can I choose the projects I work on?
Your manager will give you an overview of all upcoming projects so you can list your preferences. Unfortunately we can’t make any guarantees, but we try to consider your priorities when building project teams.
How long are projects in management consulting on average?
Generally, you’ll spend about 4-5 months on a project. Of course, there are some exceptions – some projects might last only 3 weeks or even a whole year. For these especially long projects, different teams are usually involved, so you can still expect some variety.
How many projects are international?
Looking forward to gaining international experience? Perfect! You can expect about 25-50% of your projects to be international.
