Balancing career and private life

We understand that balancing a demanding advisory role with a fulfilling personal life can be challenging, especially through life’s many phases: whether you're a working parent, pursuing a passionate hobby, studying part-time, or caring for a loved one. At Wavestone, we offer a variety of support options tailored to your unique needs.

We strive to offer all our positions on either a part-time or full-time basis (80% - 100 %). Exceptions, such as roles with contractually agreed working hours of less than 80% , may apply depending on the responsibilities and individual circumstances.

Our mobile work policy provides the flexibility to work comfortably from home, while also offering inspiring office spaces for in-person collaboration and dialogue. For those who dream of combining work with travel: our Mobile Work Abroad program lets you work up to 50 days per year from other EU countries, as well as the UK, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, provided your client doesn’t require you to be on-site.

We also provide 25 days of annual leave, extra days off for special family circumstances (e.g., through our Take A Break program), and a variety of sabbatical options to support both your personal and professional well-being.

Customized mobility

The world never stands still—and neither do we. Whether it’s generating ideas, solving complex challenges, or navigating our dynamic working environment, we stay on the move.

With a fixed monthly mobility budget, we support your environmentally friendly travel on public transport for both private and professional needs.

Value-focused corporate culture

Our corporate values—responsible, energized, and together—are at the heart of our culture. We take ownership of our actions, tackle our tasks with positivity and energy, and work as a cohesive team. This is approach allows us to create meaningful impact for ourselves, our clients, and the world around us.

We embody these values through initiatives like our Powerdays, where employees engage in charitable work, and networks such as the Women’s Network and the Mindfulness Guild, which hosts Mindful October annually. This global event offers numerous activities focused on mindfulness, reflecting our belief that our employees are people first and counselors second. For those who enjoy staying active, we offer in-house fitness groups and a variety of other opportunities.

Because we believe the best teams and the best ideas are born in the best workplaces, we regularly conduct anonymous employee surveys in partnership with the Great Place to Work Institute to ensure we continue to foster an excellent work environment.

Finally, we organize special events, ranging from large scale gatherings to more intimate occasions, to bring our teams together in meaningful ways.

Fair compensation

The salary for our permanent employees consists of a fixed component and a variable, performance-based component. We are proud to grant the full performance-based component even during maternity leave.

 To ensure fairness and market competitiveness, we regularly conduct benchmarking studies through external providers. This allows us to compare market trends and maintain salaries that are both attractive and aligned with industry standards. Besides that, we also actively monitor our numbers in terms of gender pay equity.
