Your Entry & Prospects

It all starts on your first day at work, when you will not only be given important information, but also start building relationships with your new colleagues.
You will soon be invited to your first onboarding week activities, in which you will gain a broad overview of our organizational structure. There will be more information about our strategy and values, our project management approaches and our quality standards. Experienced consultants will give you a deeper insight into our solutions.

After that, your first project will begin as soon as possible – because we believe that active project work is the best way to develop and shape your career.

Each of our consultants is accompanied by an experienced mentor: A contact person independent of their project work, who provides personal and professional guidance and advice, from the first day onward. Together with your mentor you will define both targets and areas you wish to focus your activities and your development on. In this way, your career will be guided and fostered across all your different project work.

Knowledge transfer and networking are supported and encouraged at our company. Our colleagues regularly take the time to share their knowledge, network with one another, and learn from external experts far outside the boundaries of the office, projects and customer consultations. We also discuss our experiences with projects, new tools, and innovative approaches internally, in meetings and virtual sessions. Specialized round table events and expert forums help us to think outside the box and expand our networks, even beyond our own everyday work. And of course team spirit is not overlooked in all of this; at some meetings the focus is on enjoying ourselves, as we hold regular get-togethers across our locations.

Our needs-based internal training programs systematically ensure perfect qualification for your daily business. Here you can develop not only your methodological and social skills towards whatever specific targets you have, you can also continuously build up and expand your professional expertise and learn from experts.  At the start of your career, the focus is on basic methodological training and a broad professional grounding. In the course of your career development and as you take on more responsibility for projects, your qualification measures will be expanded to include leadership skills, acquisition abilities, and specialist fields of expertise.

The core element of the internal curriculum is the two- to five-day Horváth Business School, which takes place once a year. This forms the basis for consolidating specialized technical expertise. The elements of further development covered are based on the respective consultants’ level of experience, ensuring that participants are able to successfully master daily challenges in a dynamic environment. The Horváth Business School is the ideal way to experience continuous further development through extensive training options, as well as to network with a wide-ranging peer group. We are conscious that every employee has a specific set of duties with us, and we want to train and promote our employees to fulfill their role to the best possible ability.  

We support you in your academic study. Our scholarship program sponsors dissertation projects, MBA programs and masters courses in business studies. We have prestigious links to international academic research institutions, and thanks to our academic roots, we have numerous connections in the university sector. We will gladly supply you with the necessary contacts to universities, departments and professors. There is also another positive side to this: By successfully acquiring a further academic qualification, you will raise the company’s power to innovate by developing methods or even opening up new topics and fields.

We challenge and encourage you and your skills development, based entirely on your own personal needs and wishes. Our aim is always to give you what you need to progress in your day-to-day work with us.

Your success in academic qualification increases our company’s power to innovate, while you further develop established methodologies or even discover new research topics. It is a tradition at Horváth that our consultants publish on their specialist fields in journals and books, as well as give presentations at congresses, symposiums and university events.  

You can join us with an excellent bachelor’s or master’s degree or based on your specific work experience.
