Innovative thinking and action are part of
our core ethos. Arguments count more than
hierarchies. You can get fully involved from
day one and contribute to our continual

Horváth life
Perform & be successful.
Enjoy life & stay flexible.
Work, Life & Family: Of course, working in a management consultancy with exciting projects and
clients is time-consuming. This makes it all the more important to have an environment that
supports the balancing act between work and private life and offers ideal conditions for developing
your full potential at work. We generally follow the 2-2-1 principle: At least two days on site
with the customer, up to two days working remotely or from home and one day at one of our
office locations. This is of course a rule of thumb and can vary depending on project requirements
and personal circumstances. In addition, flexible working time models are not an exception or
even a career obstacle for us – they are a very normal feature of our work and as varied as life itself.
AS FLEXIBLE AS YOU
We offer many individually tailored options for organizing
your working hours flexibly, choosing part-time
models or take time out for a sabbatical, for example.
Talk to us about your individual life planning.
“Horváth reacted very positively to my wish to take a
sabbatical when I joined the company. When I then
approached my mentor with specific plans, everything
was arranged without any complications. Four months
of traveling through South and Central America are now
behind me in the knowledge that I will be able to return
smoothly to my dream job.”

KIDS & CARE
Cooperation with a specialized provider means that you
can access qualified support in all life situations, from
arranging domestic help and care services for children
and relatives to crisis counseling and health prevention.
This allows you to keep your head clear for your job.
“Thanks to the flexibility that Horváth offers me,
balancing work and life is no problem. There are
many parents in my team – including in management
positions. They demonstrate that we take family time
here seriously.”
