They tell you about it
I've always had great assignments at QUANTEAM
François, Consultant Manager - Quantitative Finance Practice
Trained as an engineer, I joined Quanteam over 10 years ago, after a mixed experience with a rival consultancy. I was first attracted by the assignment on offer (pre-trade support on the trading floor), but it was the firm's human values and support that made me stay. I've always had great assignments at Quanteam. I was able to join the London office for several months, and have progressed thanks to the many internal job opportunities. Quanteam is very well referenced by our customers and the firm offers great assignments, with great technical and functional challenges. If you're looking for more than just an assignment, Quanteam is the place to be.
Great assignments in the banking sector and a close relationship from the outset
Ghaoutia, Consultant Manager - Transformation and Organization Practice
After working for a number of consulting firms and ESNs, mainly in project management, I joined Quanteam in 2021. I had a very good offer from the publisher, but I quickly felt a human touch and a feeling of benevolence during my first exchanges with Quanteam, which made all the difference and convinced me to join the firm. The quality and diversity of the assignments on offer in the banking sector, the firm's preferred field, were also a major advantage for me. In fact, I was able to carry out two excellent assignments (project management and consulting) and I was able to coach consultants prior to their job interviews. Two years later, I don't regret my choice. I find this closeness and willingness to collaborate on a daily basis, particularly with the sales team, but also within the project teams.
Everyone can find their place and grow
Marc, MOA Project Manager at Quanteam / co-director of the Operations & Finance Practice
I've been a consultant for over 20 years, working for various banks and insurance companies. I joined Quanteam's Paris office 7 years ago because I appreciated the human values at the time of my first meetings, values that I share on a daily basis. Management also remains very accessible and transparent in its dealings with the firm's staff, as was the case during the COVID period. This is all the more appreciable as it was not the case everywhere. Last but not least, the diverse and varied assignments on offer enable each and every one of us to develop both professionally and personally.
The freedom to choose your assignments is a great advantage
Mathieu, Expert Consultant - Transformation and Organization Practice
I joined Quanteam in 2019, after several experiences in consulting, as an Equity Derivatives Analyst, then as an IT Project Manager. Today, I work as a Scrum Master / BA in an anti-fraud team. What I like about Quanteam is the richness and diversity of the assignments on offer, and the firm's strong presence in the banking and financial sectors. The firm listens to its consultants' wishes and gives them a choice of assignments, which is not the case everywhere. In terms of career development, I wanted to join the Transformation and Organization Practice to acquire new skills, thanks to the experts who make it up. I've completed several certification courses, which really gives me the impression that the company is investing in me.
The satisfaction of being recognized for one's work and developing in a good atmosphere
Geoffroy, Expert Consultant - Quantitative Finance Practice
After studies in Engineering and a Research Master's in Nanotechnology, I worked in the Energy and Retail sectors, within Big Four consulting firms / ESNs. Then, in 2018, I joined Quanteam as a Full Stack Developer working on structured products and exotic products for a major French bank. I had already decided to move into the Banking/Finance sector, which I had begun to train for, and I was reassured to see that, through its selective recruitment process, Quanteam was a key player in the market. Right from the start, I felt the firm's support for its consultants, through training. Thanks to Quanteam, I was able to strengthen my skills through a Master's degree in Quantitative Finance, in evening classes, which enabled me to join the Quant Practice and combine my technical skills with my understanding of business and functional issues.
I wanted to join a banking/finance consulting firm
Salim, Senior Business Manager at Quanteam
I chose to join the firm in 2020, and I'm very happy to have a full time job with a human company that encourages skills development and recognizes hard work. There's a real buzz between the teams, and a good atmosphere that can be found on a daily basis or at the firm's afterworks and events. The closeness we carefully nurture with our customers and consultants mirrors that which exists internally with our teams and management. More than anything else, I feel that my work is recognized for its true worth, and that it has a direct impact on my career development.
