What do you enjoy most about working as a consultant at Avencore?
I joined Avencore as an end-of-study intern, and I do not regret my choice at all!
I discovered all that I hoped for post-college:
- An intellectually stimulating environment, enabling me to work on complex problems.
- Healthy emulation through management that is both demanding and benevolent.
- A dynamic, fast-growing company that promotes the development of its talents.
How is your work environment?
Excellent! I picked the school Mines de Paris for its "small class" size, where you can personalize career paths, and the entire class is familiar with each other. At Avencore, I see all these qualities. I have formed strong and long-lasting friendships with some of my colleagues, and I really like collaborating with consultants from leading engineering institutions, day in and day out.
What makes a good consultant?
The work of a consultant is multidimensional, but certain levers are essential to the success of any project:
- Commitment: feeling committed to one's work and daily tasks.
- Curiosity: being driven by a scientific curiosity that leads to exploring the technical aspects of products and processes.
- Ambition: actively pursuing challenges and uncomfortable situations that accelerate skills development.
- Communication: develop the art of effective, relevant dialogue, both with customers and colleagues.
- Team spirit: Foster a collaborative environment to optimize individual and group performance.
What is your favourite memory working with a client?
I have very fond memories of working lunches with the client team to finalize an important presentation together: the atmosphere was professional yet relaxed and pleasant, strengthening the bonds between us and the client, and the presentation ultimately went very well!
