We Offer

  Consulting 2.0

A consulting environment that constantly reinvents itself: at rpc your project utilization is not bonus-relevant and we offer maximum flexibility, for example through sabbaticals, remote work and part-time work, to ideally complement your personal life situation. We ensure your satisfaction through mentoring, regular happiness checks and a qualified Feelgood Manager

  Salary & Benefits

Want to take your company car to our company cabin in the Alps? Because our cabin can be rented - also privately - for a small fee. In addition, we offer an extensive benefits program, which includes employee discounts such as gym memberships and a company pension plan. As you can see, we do not define ourselves by the obligatory fruit basket, soccer table, candy cupboard and local coffee (that's a given for us)

  rpc Spirit

A corporate culture that is better than others - that's just the way it is! Our employees describe us as open, dynamic, friendly and appreciative. We have a strict "no jerks" policy. Decision-making processes are short and hierarchies are flat. The latter can best be experienced at one of our legendary international company events (have you ever rented an entire island in Croatia?)

  Training & Perspectives

Prospects beyond the next career level: at rpc you have the opportunity to use your strengths according to your individual liking, take on responsibility quickly and actively shape the company. Our in-house rpc academy takes care of everything else
