What qualities do you look for in your candidates?

We have set requirements for our candidates, which we review in a first step. This means that we require a university degree with good to very good grades. In addition, foreign experience is very important to us and proofs intercultural competence. Also, we expect strategically oriented practical experience, which may be relevant for the work at Roland Berger. Apart from these "hard criteria", we are looking for highly motivated candidates who are willing to develop themselves personally and professionally in our Consulting field. We are looking for empathetic, excellent candidates who live entrepreneurship and can identify with our values. In addition, a great team spirit, taking initiative and thinking outside the box is important to us. Please keep in mind that you remain authentic - as described in our campaign - "Be the original you", that's exactly what we're looking for.

How flexible is Roland Berger in terms of changing/shifting domains/roles of a consultant to foster his/her learning in different aspects of consulting such as Strategy Consulting, Tech Consulting, Operations Consulting, and Finance Consulting?

Dear Sourabh, thank you for your question. Roland Berger offers you the opportunity to work on diverse projects with colleagues from different study fields bringing in different perspectives and strengths. As you can see on our website, our company is characterized by a Competence Center structure which allows us to work together in those interdisciplinary teams. In the DACH region, all consultants are assigned to a specific Competence Center – their "home base". For each project, we choose colleagues with the most relevant background. You will have the opportunity to learn from each other and gain valuable insights in other areas of expertise. Depending on your background, it would also be possible to switch the CC. Best regards, Marika
