A career starts with development
The journey starts: Define route
The most important thing I learnt in my engineering degree was rationality. It was about data, about analysing and adhering to processes, but also about sustainability and, above all, about keeping pace with the changing world. In the world of automotive engineering, I then worked on many different projects in many different areas, and in all of them I was confronted with SAP again and again. After working with the system as an end user for a long time, I felt the need to get closer to the starting point. Because for me, the starting point for improvements is recognising the need. In my search for a suitable target, I quickly came across Rödl & Partner. I was particularly impressed by the fact that Rödl & Partner is not a network, but a firm that operates internationally with its own companies in around 50 countries. For me, this demonstrates a strong entrepreneurial commitment and a decisive focus on global success.
Even during my probationary period, I realised how important it is for Rödl & Partner to continuously develop its employees.

First stop: Onboarding
My start at Rödl & Partner went smoothly and I can say that I received a very good induction. My colleagues, who are very successful in their own areas and specialists in their field, were particularly helpful. They not only explained to me how the SAP environment works, but also how they found solutions to the problems they had previously encountered with their customers. They helped me with questions, shared their experience with me and helped me to quickly familiarise myself with the new working environment.
Second stop: probationary period
Even during my probationary period, I realised how important it is for Rödl & Partner to continuously develop its employees. There is a wide range of training courses, seminars and workshops that you can take part in. For me, employee training and development is an investment in the expertise and competence of the organisation. In this way, organisations can ensure that everyone has the necessary knowledge and skills and that their services are always up to date. That’s why I was happy to take advantage of the offers, because for me, good training is synonymous with good advice. This also includes soft skills such as communication. Especially in my role as a service provider, it is crucial for me to offer clear guidance and make clear recommendations. By not being afraid to take a clear stance, you also demonstrate a sense of responsibility and expertise in your area of specialisation. But communication with each other is also something special at Rödl & Partner. I also noticed this during my probationary period, when an atmosphere of respect and openness was created right from the start in feedback rounds in which we assessed each other’s individual performance as well as team adaptation. My line manager not only took the time to listen, but also actively encouraged my development and always found solutions to challenges that arose. Here, too, the focus was on continuous learning and personal development. Rödl & Partner has created an environment for me that promotes my growth.
The journey continues: looking to the future:
I am therefore convinced that my journey at Rödl & Partner will continue in the future, because these are the working conditions I longed for at the beginning of my career. I am therefore looking forward to continuing to work on exciting projects, solving common problems with my colleagues and achieving good results together.
