Start & Onboarding

Questions & Answers About Starting Your Job

What’s the process for the first six months at the company?

Within the first six months at Porsche Consulting, there is a three-week onboarding program, which we call the Warm-Up. The Warm-Up consists of a set of coordinated training units and presentations intended to give new joiners the best possible preparation for a great start at Porsche Consulting. Moreover, every new employee is supported during the first six months by an experienced mentor in order to facilitate social and cultural integration. Then the employee starts on their first project, assisted by experienced consultants, in order to put the knowledge gained in the Warm-Up into practice. 

What do the Warm-Up/onboarding entail?

At the start of each quarter, there is a three-week onboarding program called the Warm-Up. The Warm-Up comprises technical and general training units, presentations by executives, and social and networking events designed to promote the integration of new employees in the company and give new joiners the best possible preparation for their consulting jobs. And to give a taste of the Porsche brand, the Warm-Up culminates in a joint driving event. Here, employees have the chance to demonstrate their driving skills. 

Do I necessarily have to be willing to travel?

As a consultant with us, you are part of diverse and exciting projects in Germany and abroad. Although some projects are now conducted in a hybrid format or online, a high willingness to travel is still essential. 

Will Porsche Consulting support me with a job-related move?

In the event of job-related moves, we support our employees financially and help with the apartment search and getting settled in in the new location.
