Being at mgm is almost like working in a big family. One that has each other’s backs, where people help each other out, experiences are shared and where corporate culture is a high priority. With a passion for employee-centricity, I believe mgm is doing exactly the right thing in addressing the important issues of labor market development: people first!

Why do I enjoy looking for talents for mgm so much? Because it is easy to tell honestly and authentically about the mgm spirit. The appreciative cooperation, the inter-company and interdisciplinary exchange, as well as the exciting development opportunities are the perfect conditions to offer employees a long-term perspective. And the best part? Definitely the colleagues. We have friendly, open-minded personalities with exciting, very different careers and unusual hobbies.

The special Theme Day (Thementage) offers the perfect stage for me to look outside of the box and learn from my colleagues’ areas of expertise yet unknown to me. On one hand that provides the opportunity for me to reflect that expertise in my own project context and in addition may uncover new synergies and potentials within my own portfolio. In addition to the professional exchange the central focus is the social aspect – to meet new colleagues and to share a cold beverage or two. All of course in a comfortable atmosphere. For me, the special Theme Days as well as the daily business at mgm demonstrate that the bond and support between colleagues are an essential component of our company culture. Questions can be asked in the big round and knowledge transfer is highly valued.

To balance project work and private life requires a level of latitude that traditional consulting hardly offers. We dispense with many of the airs and graces that others are said to have and work at eye level with our clients and colleagues: as hierarchy-free as possible. If you are really good at what you do and still keep your feet on the ground, if you are a doer in a project and keep pushing until problems are really solved and if you are the kind of person with whom one likes to philosophize about life with a glass of wine in the evening, then – in my opinion – you will fit in with us!
