Dear A,

Thank you so much for your interesting question. I would say that for me the following aspect are essential criteria for  my job choice:

1. Understanding myself with my boss/mentor.

2. Great collaborative team spirit within the organization, where everyone is willing to help others.

3. Innovativeness of the company, especially new and interesting pojects in my domain area 

4. Opportunity for personal development and growth.

So as you might notice - there are combination of personal and professional interest.


Hope it helps you further,

Best

André

On top of the insights already shared in the post, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)

It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

Feel free to PM me for disccount codes, since we still have some left from the launch!

it should be open minded and allowing the different people to express their opinion but also allowing them to improve their soft and hard skills. 

We can only learn by our mistakes and this should be also tolerated by the company. So mentoring is one of the key elements that a company should offer their employees.

For me the most important thing is the perfect balance out of keeping a short and a long leash. Keeping it too short will harm intrinsic motivation through a sense of being responsible, while keeping it too long prevents accurate feedback and accountability. This in combination with a general sense of values, especially fairness, respect and candor paired with a good atmosphere makes a great company for me.

I would try to describe the typical traits of a consulting company (e.g. talk about meritocracy, fast learning curve, brilliant colleagues).

My ideal company is one that fosters an environment where everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow to their full potential. Additionally, there is a culture where ideas are able to flow and new solutions to old problems are welcomed. With this approach, innovation and improvements will naturally follow.
