How do you prove what it feels like to work at a company, without just being blurry or inconcrete? We've been as transparent as possible and published our employee handbook; Life at Cupole.

It felt genuine and friendly from the first time I came in contact with Cupole - Cupole according to Johanna

There are numerous ways to assess a candidate's ability and experience. The most commonly used methods are, of course, the interview. Almost all consulting firms use some sort of ‘case interview’ to better understand the candidate's ability to solve a business-related problem, a skill that is daily used in consulting every day. Here's some guidance and a case to test your skills with!

To become even better at targeting and recruiting top talent, we at Cupole have decided to shift focus in all our recruitment processes - we've scrapped the ‘cover letter’.

The culture here is very unique and probably different from other workplaces. The atmosphere is very relaxed and we make up the rules together. - Cupole according to Maikel

We are all driven and high performing individuals with high expectations of each other, but we also care about each other a lot. We are all very different which makes work more exciting. It also creates a better learning environment! - Cupole according to Emilia

Culture, a concept most people would probably describe equally important as it is vague. Because albeit culture undoubtedly defines the atmosphere at a workplace, it is extremely hard to define what that really is, or what it consists of. Understanding the elements of a great work culture is much more than just a few beliefs and documented policies published on an intranet.

We would like to give a warm congratulations to Accent Equity and Götessons Industrier who are joining forces for further growth. We at Cupole are very excited to have been part of this transaction as advisors to Accent Equity Partners.

The thing I value the most is the opportunity to learn and at Cupole, I feel like I’m challenged enough to learn new things on a daily basis. My advice would be to join us! - Cupole according to Arvid

In order to meet new talents and to introduce Cupole to students, we offer student programs every year – our internship being one of them. Instead of us telling you what our Internship entails, we’ve interviewed Oscar, currently enrolled in the Internship program, to hear his thoughts on the experience.

Aside from the Pinball tournament there were arcade games for all preferences; Pacman, Atari, Nintendo64, ping pong and Pinball in VR. We also had streetfood catered from BunBun and a DJ from New York to make sure everything during this year’s Pinball Challenge transformed our beloved office to a vibrating hot-spot for young professionals in Stockholm.

Instead of navel-gazing ourselves without any perspective, we teamed up with the fittingly named Great Place To Work Institute, and have over the last year completed both quantitative surveys, data collections, as well as a qualitative survey about our culture that validates our employee experience through an external framework

“I had the benefit of trying out Free Time after I’d completed a project last summer, and was able to come back in August, well rested after seven weeks of leave. I spent my long break on a sailing boat in the Stockholm archipelago, and I also had time to renovate my apartment. I had the opportunity to fill my long holiday with exactly what a brilliant summer should contain, in my view.”

We have drawn up concrete guidelines for how Cupoleans can work to reduce elements of negative stress and to make sure that employees use their resources in a way that’s as healthy as possible!

Most corporations are working for improved diversity and inclusion, but there is still much room for improvements in creating awareness to make diversity and inclusion a competitive advantage.

Management consulting is a complex industry that puts tough demands on the individual

Working in the consulting industry, we know that it makes tough demands on good service, the ability to solve problems and a high level of availability. This makes the profession an exciting one, but sometimes those expectations of constant availability can take their toll and it can be difficult to unwind.
