At SE, we truly believe in “training on the job” and have established an open feedback culture. This means that you will learn a lot first hand working together with more experienced colleagues.

Besides the regular project feedback, we have the SE Academy team that plans and organizes tailored trainings for our consultants.
In accordance with our “Lifetime Consulting” approach, we want to ensure that our employees stay with us for the long term. We offer various flexible working time models that can be individually adapted to your personal situation. In principle, our consultants have the option of working part-time or taking time off.
Of course! Every single personal situation is reflected in our staffing decisions to ensure that a fulfilled family life is possible or other personal incidents are considered.
Our project and client work is of course important to us, but we also want to contribute to society beyond our daily work. Therefore, we support non-profit enterprises on a pro bono basis.
