FAQ
ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find out everything you need to know about your career at KBC and the application process, and get tips on how to apply and prepare for your dream job.
What entry-level opportunities are available at KBC?
To get a taste of the consulting profession, starting as an analyst (through an internship or as a working student) while you’re still in school is a great option. After that, you can begin as a junior consultant with a bachelor’s degree or as a consultant with a master’s degree. Of course, it’s also possible to join at higher levels at any time, provided you have the relevant professional experience.
How many consultants does KBC hire?
We are always hiring consultants. We always have openings for dedicated talent. Don’t hesitate to apply, even if the job description doesn’t quite match your professional skills or if, for example, you have specific needs due to a physical disability.
Which level should I apply for?
As a college graduate, you can apply either as a Junior Consultant (Bachelor’s degree) or a Consultant (Master’s degree). If you have several years of relevant professional experience, you can also apply for higher levels accordingly. However, determining the exact level is not crucial during the application phase, as we can only assess which KBC level best corresponds to your education and professional experience after the entire application process is complete. Therefore, you do not need to apply for multiple levels at the same time.
How should I submit my application?
Please apply online via our career portal at kbc.jobs.personio.de for the position you are interested in.
What documents should I include with my application?
Please include your cover letter, resume, and supporting documents with your application: proof of eligibility for university admission, transcript of records, vocational certificates, bachelor’s and master’s degrees (if applicable), proof of internships, and employer references.
What is the application process like?
Step 1
During an approximately two-hour discussion with various team members from the operational consulting division and senior management, we’ll give you the opportunity to learn about our structure, business areas, and corporate culture. Show us what you’ve got—both personally and professionally!
Step 2
A second meeting is designed to assess your professional skills. Depending on your experience, you will either present your own proposals on a predefined topic or analyze and present a case study derived from one of our consulting projects to a small team of KBC consultants. Immediately afterward, you will receive detailed feedback on your case analysis and performance.
Step 3
Based on the insights gained throughout the process, we will make a decision as a team and extend an offer to you. In a detailed discussion, we will explain our decision to you and finalize the terms of the contract with you.
What's the best way to prepare for the interviews?
We are looking for people who can optimally apply their professional expertise, combined with their personal empathy and the right amount of assertiveness, to our client projects. You should demonstrate these personal and professional skills to us. The following tips will help you present a case study:
Take a structured approach: Note down the individual steps from the assignment and prioritize tasks. A results-oriented approach is often half the battle.
Make the most of your time: Use the entire allotted time and manage it effectively. It’s usually helpful to first outline a plan of action before you really get started.
Read the assignment carefully: Get a clear overview of what’s required and read the provided information thoroughly. You might just discover a hidden clue.
Ask questions: Don’t be afraid to ask for clarification. This ensures that you’ve understood the question correctly and that all ambiguities have been cleared up. There are no wrong questions.
Visual presentation: Simply standing there and talking won’t motivate your audience to listen to you. Use visual aids to present your findings in a coherent and management-friendly way. A flipchart or similar tool is usually available for this purpose.
Central theme: Present your approach and justify your findings clearly by following a central theme that runs throughout your presentation.
Presentation style: Present your findings authentically rather than putting on a show, and explain your approach logically. Address follow-up questions and assume the role specified in the case.
Don’t be afraid of gaps in your knowledge: If you don’t know a piece of information, have the courage to say that you will provide it later because you don’t want to draw premature conclusions.
Stay calm: It’s not always just about the right answer, but rather about how you approach and present problems. Demonstrate your analytical thinking and presentation skills.
Practice makes perfect: Finally ,it ’s all about practice, practice, practice. Numerous cases have been published that you can use to practice.
How does the onboarding process work?
On your first day of work and in the weeks that follow, you’ll go through a comprehensive and informative onboarding process. You’ll get to know all your colleagues in person—especially your mentor—and have an introductory meeting with each one. A detailed onboarding plan will guide you through all of our company’s practices, services, and internal processes. Within three months at the latest, you’ll be up to speed!
What training courses does KBC offer?
As part of our KBC Academy, you will participate in all seminars, coaching sessions, and training courses designed to support your professional and personal development. We place particular emphasis on consulting skills such as leadership, communication, presentation, and conflict resolution. However, all professional topics related to our practices and services are also systematically covered in varying levels of depth. In addition, we offer continuing education through accredited courses with certifications on topics that interest you personally and will advance your career development at KBC.
What career development opportunities does KBC offer?
You’ll learn on the job how to develop tailored solutions for our clients’ future-oriented challenges and their specific needs. You’ll work in various teams and with people of different personalities. This will allow you to continuously expand your knowledge, both in depth and breadth, which will soon make you the “thinking brain” and “helping hand” for our clients. And it will gradually advance you through the KBC career ladder.
Will I be assigned to work abroad as well?
Our clients around the world engage us to develop comprehensive solutions. As a result, temporary assignments abroad are also possible. We make every effort to accommodate personal or family needs as much as possible. In general, the consulting profession requires a high degree of mobility.
What does KBC offer in terms of work-life balance?
KBC supports the personal growth and life plans of every employee. After all, priorities in both our personal and professional lives change, and so do our work schedules. We offer you the opportunity to tailor your work schedule to achieve a harmonious balance between your professional and personal life. This creates the foundation for a healthy work-life balance, ensuring you have enough time for family and personal fulfillment—whether that means volunteering, pursuing further education, or caring for a family member. Whenever operational circumstances allow, we also offer sabbaticals.
How can you balance work and family life at KBC?
We grant fathers special leave following the birth of their child and help mothers return to work—for example, after parental leave—through flexible work schedules and professional development training. In doing so, we comply with all legal requirements.
Does KBC organize team events?
Our unique team spirit is what sets us apart. That’s why we go out of our way to foster it and regularly organize events that you’ll definitely want to tell your friends about. In addition to tennis tournaments, summer parties, trips to Oktoberfest, and Christmas parties, our multi-day team trips to other European countries help build a special sense of team spirit.

Our employees are assigned roles and compensated according to their respective hierarchical level, regardless of gender or gender identity (there is no gender pay gap). Our project teams are organized exclusively based on skills and are therefore completely gender-neutral.
We take religion and worldview into special consideration. For example, we provide opportunities for employees to retreat for prayer and meditation. We also accommodate vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan, and halal dietary needs.

Our work culture is characterized in particular by individuality, care, appreciation, and trust.

How is KBC committed to sustainability?
We practice what we preach: We have been climate-neutral since 2019. This means we continuously reduce and offset our total emissions across the categories/scopes defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol:
Buildings: Electricity, heating and cooling, water, waste
Employees: Business travel, vehicle fleet, food, beverages, and snacks, commuting/remote work
Purchasing: Consumables, furniture, and IT equipment, external services
Customers
When we moved into our new office in September 2020, we evaluated every single aspect for its climate-friendliness from the very beginning. This includes:
Our own electric charging stations
Furniture made from a mix of recycled materials
100% green electricity and green district heating
A well-designed faucet system where hot, cold, and sparkling water come directly from the faucet, replacing kettles and plastic bottles—including their delivery and disposal.
LED lights with motion sensors
Waste separation, including the important organic waste
Sustainable office supplies and promotional gifts
These and many other aspects are part of our office setup. Additionally, after two years of our own hard work, we decided in 2021 to calculate our carbon footprint together with the renowned ClimateTech company Planetly in order to derive further measures for reduction. The sustainability team, consisting of employees from various levels of the organization, also meets regularly to discuss new ideas and become even more climate-friendly.
