There are a number of areas in consulting services for the financial sector which our entry-level colleagues can choose from.

Some of our colleagues would like to have a banking consulting career, while becoming a professional expert with deep, specialized knowledge in various areas of banking operations, such as core banking, back office, compliance, treasury or e-channels.

Other consultants specialize in areas related to information technology, such as system implementation and integration or IT operations, while some strengthen their knowledge in project management.

Through the MINDSPIRE Junior Program we encourage our colleagues to find their own areas of interest and mutually define their path of development accordingly.

Compulsory and optional courses

The standard training required for our new employees ensures that all our junior colleagues acquire uniform professional and personal skills requreid for the various banking consultant jobs.

In addition, our consultants can take part in optional, specialized training in accordance with their individual development goals.

03

Regular feedback and formalized assessments

Recurring assessment discussions with senior colleagues, where both parties can provide constructive feedback on the career path is one of the key elements of the MINDSPIRE Junior Program.

MINDSPIRE
events and happenings

Our consultants and experts typically work at project sites provided by our clients, so they are less likely to meet each other in larger numbers.
This is why we consider it important to provide the opportunity for the entire MINDSPIRE Consulting team to gather several times a year.

To this end, we organize various events, including professional and leisure programs as well.

We also use these events to share important, current information with our employees regarding the company and our plans for the future.

Featured MINDSPIRE events:

Annual kick-off meeting

Each year we hold the now traditional MINDSPIRE Annual opening meeting in February, where the management evaluates the company’s performance in the previous 12 months and outlines plans for the current period. One of the highlights of the event is the recognition of the outstanding achievements of the past year. The winners of the Project of the Year, Consultant of the Year, Young Talent of the Year awards besides the moral recognition will receive valuable rewards as well. We also recognize experts, salespeople, and colleagues involved in developing our services with outstanding performance.

Professional days

At the professional days organized by MINDSPIRE Consulting we deliver lectures and organize panel discussions for our colleagues about the issues affecting the financial institutions market at that time. The topics of the presentations may include the application of methodologies used in individual projects, the development of market trends, or the resolution of technical or regulatory compliance challenges facing the banking sector. During the questions and answers sections following the lectures, usually deep professional discussions evolve.

Children's Day and Saint Nicholas Day
It is an important mission for us to introduce our company to the families and children of our employees. Unfortunately, during the pandemic we didn’t have the opportunity to hold a family day, but on Children’s Day and Saint Nicholas Day we made an effort to surprise the “MINDSPIRE kids” with creative gifts, which besides being entertaining can also serve development purposes.
MINDSPIRE Christmas party
After a whole year of intense project work, as part of the holiday season attunement, the year-closing Christmas party will provide relaxation for the entire MINDSPIRE team. At this time our colleagues can meet and chat in a pleasant location, accompanied with delicious food and drinks, entertainment programs and music. As part of the Christmas preparation, we also give modest gifts to our colleagues at this time.
Project breakfasts
In order to enable our employees working for different Clients to meet each other regularly and share their experience gained on projects, we also organize meetings in smaller groups. The face-to-face gatherings start with a rich breakfast, but if there is no other option, we have an online exchange of views.
