Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your experience as a former Apricum employee. Stress and work life balance is a topic we take seriously and have implemented a number of measures (an initiative we created and communicated to the staff) to mitigate unavoidable stress in the consulting world. We’re sorry to hear that you felt disrespected during your time with us. That is not the culture we strive to foster, and we take concerns like this seriously. Our goal is to create a workplace where every employee feels valued and heard. We would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience and if you are open to it, please feel free to contact me directly to discuss. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards, Cate

Hello, thank you for your review. We hope you found your internship useful. Regarding career progression, we have two promotion cycles per year. Strategy consulting slowed across the industry in 2024 but is picking up again, the M and A pipeline is very full. There is much potential across our cleantech sectors to be tapped. All the best, Cate
