Working@Horváth

You can expect a work culture where your career depends on results, not attendance. If unexpected situations require you to be unavailable or adjust your working hours, we will find a flexible and uncomplicated solution together.

Our consulting approach offers flexibility between working at customer sites, remotely, from home, and in the office. We generally follow a 2-2-1 schedule: at least two days at the customer site, up to two days remote or at home, and one day at one of our office locations. Employees in corporate functions typically work at least two days in the office.

In addition to our modern workstations at our offices, all permanent Horváth employees receive a laptop and an iPhone, which can also be used privately at no extra cost.

We offer 30 days of annual leave plus the option to take up to 10 additional days of special leave per year, either as unpaid leave or through salary conversion. In addition, we provide various individual arrangements to support work-life balance, including part-time models, full-time, reduced-hour, and zero-hour contracts, as well as longer sabbaticals.

We offer the option to work from abroad for up to 4 weeks (28 days) with only a few conditions.

Grow@Horváth is your personalized learning journey and forms the foundation for structured development. At the beginning of your career, you will develop key skills through basic methodological training and gain insights into specialized topics. As your career progresses, you can focus on leadership and acquisition skills while expanding your expertise.

The Horváth Business School was specifically designed by our experts to convey professional and industry-specific know-how. The hybrid format offers the ideal opportunity to develop your skills in a targeted manner and network within the company based on your level of experience.

You can supplement our wide range of training courses with additional courses from external providers. Your manager and our Learning & Development team will support you in identifying your individual needs and finding the right training for you.

Our foundation is in science, and it is a given that we will support your academic development - financially and by offering appropriate leave of absence. We support employees pursuing a master's degree, an MBA, or a PhD.

You can expect flat hierarchies, structured development, and transparent promotion criteria from us. Our roles, competencies, and responsibilities are clearly defined. Target agreements, regular feedback meetings, and an annual salary and promotion process are building blocks for your personal career development.

The term 'mentoring' reflects our understanding of leadership. From day one, your manager accompanies and advises you, both professionally and personally. Together, you agree on goals, tasks, and development priorities. In this way, your career is supported and promoted throughout all projects in a mutual dialog. Our open feedback culture is a central element of personal development.

Is every beginning difficult? Not with us! Our structured onboarding provides you with all the necessary information and support for a successful start. In addition to the Onboarding Days, our Integration Week ensures that you gain a comprehensive overview of our organization, strategy, values, project management approaches, and quality standards. You will also have the opportunity to build your own internal network.

We work with a specialized provider to provide access to a wide range of support services for all situations in life, ranging from finding domestic help and care services for children and relatives in need to crisis counselling and preventive healthcare.

The Parents@Horváth initiative provides a platform specifically designed to address the needs related to parenthood. The network creates opportunities to network with other parents, receive information on parental leave or flexible working time models, as well as valuable input on everyday family life.

You can lease up to two (e-)bikes from us on favorable terms, either for commuting or for personal use in your free time.

From the Managing Consultant level onwards, we offer an attractive company car leasing scheme. Our Green Car Policy subsidizes the switch to electric and hybrid vehicles, which includes a wall box for your garage at home.

Use the 'Deutschlandticket' as a job ticket and enjoy a subsidy from us! This allows you to commute to the office comfortably and in an environmentally friendly way, and you can also use the ticket for private purposes.

You can use your Deutsche Bahn company rail card privately for comfortable and eco-friendly travel.

In Germany, we offer discounted memberships through our partner EGYM Wellpass. This is available to both our employees and their family members. EGYM Wellpass provides access to over 5,000 partner locations, helping you find the right physical sports program, whether it’s a fitness course, yoga, swimming, or climbing. A digital solution with a wide range of online resources for nutrition and meditation is also included. Achieve your personal balance for body and mind.

In addition to various offerings for stress management, resilience, and workplace health, we also have a skilled internal team available to advise you on mental health-related matters.

You can take advantage of numerous sports, cultural, and electronics offers at exclusive rates through our corporate benefits cooperation. Employees also have access to a portal featuring sustainably produced brands and fair-trade products to help reduce emissions and contribute to a greener future.

All Horváth offices are well-equipped, easily accessible, and operated sustainably with 100% green electricity. Free fruit and drinks are provided as standard.    

We offer attractive direct insurance options for company pension plans. Additionally, we provide accident insurance for all employees, including private coverage.

All employees at the Managing Consultant level (or senior level in internal functions) can directly participate in the company's success as silent partners.

Our Purpose Days encourage the social commitment of our employees through pro bono projects for charitable organizations or individual volunteer work. We support social commitment by offering paid time off.

We have been climate neutral since 2020, in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol standard. We consistently promote green mobility, sustainable building, and responsible consumption to contribute to achieving climate neutrality.

Informal exchanges are a vital part of our corporate culture. Whether it's summer parties, Christmas celebrations, skiing holidays, Connect events, or center meetings - regular events that offer opportunities to exchange ideas, network, and celebrate successes are important to us.

Once a year, all our employees get together for our legendary camp event. These days provide an opportunity to meet colleagues from different locations and countries, gain inspiration for our work, and, of course, celebrate successes together.

Our Women@Horváth initiative supports female colleagues in shaping their individual career paths and enhances their visibility in the market. Through our network, we exchange ideas, learn from and inspire each other, provide valuable momentum to the organization, and actively help shape Horváth’s future.
