Space for personal and professional development
Twice a year we sit down with our people and explore their personal and career goals in a structured way, aligning their deployment on existing projects to suit the direction they, and we, want to go in. In order to develop the potential revealed, we offer an annual training budget that can be used by the employee in consultation with us (so we understand what benefits GCS will get from your training). We pay for the training, and we pay you while doing it.
Work life balance
Quite frankly: the consulting life is one of cloudbursts and droughts. That said, one of our canons of faith is that working hours should only be exceeded by any significant margin when absolutely necessary. In return, we've introduced home office arrangements and working hours "on trust" – which both work very well right now and save a lot of unnecessary effort.
Giving you space
We're firm believers in "self-effective teams" and give all our people a great deal of freedom in the way they do their jobs – something you have to fight hard for in organisations elsewhere – but at GCS, the challenge is more how to use that latitude, and with our flat organisation we'll be happy to guide you and watch you grow.
We want movers and shakers
With our flat organisation and regular team meetings, it's the best idea that counts, irrespective of who suggests it. People who love making things happen feel right at home here.
What we expect of you
You can't know everything, and we don't expect you to. However, you can only use the above freedoms to good effect if you enjoy our industry, have the relevant practical and theoretical knowledge, are flexible in the way you think and act, and are prepared to engage in ongoing professional training. We also expect initiative, individuality, team spirit and humour :-).
