A1: We add significant value to our clients with our project basis work. The length of our projects generally ranges from three weeks to six months. Our project teams generally consist of two to six people. In most projects, we work at the client site, together with the client organization. While each consultant tends to specialize in a specific sector, all consultants experience a variety of industries over their careers at Helix.

Mentors are selected from the senior members of the Helix team who have significant experience in management consulting. You will have official and unofficial meetings with your mentor over the course of a year. Your mentor will not only guide you through important career decisions but also support on other issues that you would like to raise during the meetings including training needs, work/life balance and social responsibility.

A5: In line with the challenging nature of management consulting business, our workload may become demanding at certain periods of the year. While long working hours are not the norm at Helix, you may experience time pressure during some projects.

In general, it is safe to assume that Helix consultants spend 50% of their time working in other cities and countries.
