Pros
International team: The team is one of the biggest perks at Consultport. I found it to be extraordinarily good to have such an international team. I never had the chance to work with people from such a diverse background. Also, the team had a great drive and I always felt like everyone was very supportive and cheering. Fast learning: I am very happy with the skills I learned at Consultport. I gained the most experience in communicating, structuring my work and tasks as well as the prioritization of those. I enjoyed the challenges and challenging tasks given to me, while enjoying the freedom to figure it out by myself. Exposure to senior leaders: One the one hand I regularly speak with with C-level and VPs as clients. And internally at Consultport I work directly with the CEO and the VP of client growth. At a larger company, I would most likely not ever interact with these types of people let alone work with them. Real Impact: It has been rewarding to work on projects that have a direct impact on the success of the business. Often junior employees are given less important responsibilities but I am working on projects that have a direct monetary impact on the business. Great Office: The office is super close to Mauerpark which is great when the team goes out for drinks on Fridays. Additionally, the office is super open and modern which is great since it is a very onsite working environment.
Cons
Results Oriented: It is very results oriented, which can be intense if you’re not comfortable with performance metrics. Pressure: Ownership of your work is great however this always comes with responsibilities which at some point can also create some stress. Onsite working culture: I like coming into the office and working directly with my colleagues but it would be nice to have a few more remote working opportunities.
