Tips & Tricks

Mateusz, Consultant

I have been a part of the Sollers Consulting for over five years, most of that time as a Consultant in the UK sector. What makes my journey here truly special is the exceptional community of like-minded individuals I'm surrounded by. Every day, I am inspired to exchange thoughts, share ideas, and embark on a continuous learning journey.

What sets Sollers Consulting apart, and what I appreciate most, is the commitment to providing everything I need to excel in my role, while maintaining a supportive and pressure-free environment. It's more than just a place to work; it's a place where I thrive both professionally and personally.

Sandra, Consultant

After working in the finance industry for over a decade and already gathering knowledge in the area of IT projects, it was clear to me where to head next. So when I started as a Senior Analyst at Sollers in mid 2020, I was looking forward to dive deeper into the world of IT and project management. My main assignment is at one of the biggest German insurers where I'm supporting the digital transformation.

What I probably appreciate most at Sollers is being surrounded by competent and motivated people. A lot of frequent knowledge exchange and the possibility to take active parts in projects helps you to grow steadily. And a transparent path of promotion let's you build your own career, supported by individual trainings sponsored by Sollers. Now, as a Consultant, I get the chance to take more responsibilities and grow even stronger.
