Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your experience as a former Apricum employee. Stress and work life balance is a topic we take seriously and have implemented a number of measures (an initiative we created and communicated to the staff) to mitigate unavoidable stress in the consulting world. We’re sorry to hear that you felt disrespected during your time with us. That is not the culture we strive to foster, and we take concerns like this seriously. Our goal is to create a workplace where every employee feels valued and heard. We would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience and if you are open to it, please feel free to contact me directly to discuss. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards, Cate

Thank you for your comments, however, we are unable to verify the part-time position claimed. We have not employed anyone on a part-time basis who has left the company in this timeframe.

Pros

Cleantech and renewable energy focused I left after 5 months (before my probation was over), therefore, could go immediately instead of waiting 3 more months

Cons

Unnecessary stress about being "perfect" and fear of making mistakes reducing freedom to brainstorm -> clear inferiority complex from upper management comparing themselves to BCG and McKinsey Hours far exceeded what was stated in interviews -> lack of respect for work life balance Poor business planning and company performance reduces bonus and increases company stress

Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear that you experienced challenges in business planning and ability to brainstorm. Our leadership team is striving to improve wherever it can, especially, in the challenge of longer working hours, which is often experienced by management consultants. A package of measures was introduced last year to expressly address this topic. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out. Thank you again for your feedback and the time you spent at Apricum. We wish you all the best for the future. Kind regards, Cate
