? Applications typically start online. If you seem like a good fit, we’ll give you a call to set up a virtual or in-person interview. Some parts might be technical but often we just want to see if we’ll be a great match for each other. This is also an opportunity to ask questions, so come prepared – we’re happy to answer them! If you like what you see, and we like what we’ve heard, we’ll invite you aboard. What does the interview process look like ? We are a consultancy, so some projects will always be tougher than others. However, we can guarantee that you will grow here and that you will be surrounded by good people who want to help you succeed and who will have your back. What does Entelect commit to ? Finding people who want others to succeed is part of our culture-fit assessment. Mentoring is a huge part of who we are, and there will be loads of people who will help you to grow, rather than make you feel inferior. We know that imposter syndrome is a real thing in our industry, so we do our best to help provide a safe place for you to step outside your comfort zone. What if I feel like I'm not good enough to be a part of Entelect ? Don’t be! You’ll get loads of support from those around you, continuous feedback, and dedicated time from your Team Lead. Senior Leadership is aware of what is going on in each project and will be there to support and acknowledge great work. We have processes for each team to share info of what’s happening on the ground, and your entire line of management will see what you bring to the table. I’m scared that I will struggle to show my worth ? Scaling consistently across 300+ projects is a big part of our challenge. We believe in a tribe-of-tribes structure, so each team does things slightly differently. If you are working under a newer Team Lead, they may be learning their craft, and your experiences may vary. We tend to let each tribe figure out what to do themselves, which gives great opportunities for growth and autonomy but sometimes means you have a lot of pressure on you. What is Entelect challenged by
Let’s address the tough questions, the elephant in the room, and all the other things people are sceptical about. If you don’t believe any of the below, you are welcome to show up at our offices and speak to the first random Entelectual that you see and ask them the same things. Sound too good to be true?

? Bench is normal in a consultancy, and we don’t view it as a bad thing. Finding the right project fit for an individual can take time. Having a healthy mix of skills on the bench allows us to build the right team composition when we land a new sale. We’re not a law firm – if you’re not “billing” it doesn’t mean you’re a problem in our business. We have converted our bench into a team called The First Order who work on various internal experiments, projects, and training initiatives. It gives people rotating between projects a chance to chill out or upskill, and newbies a practical introduction to our culture and how we operate. What happens when I am on bench ? We know that attracting and retaining the best people requires a great workplace culture, opportunities for growth, interesting work, and competitive remuneration. That’s why we do salary increases twice a year – so good growth can be rewarded quickly. We also do a few thousand interviews a year! This allows us to collect LOTS of data on what people are being paid in the industry, and make sure we are aligned with (and hopefully consistently beating) those benchmarks. Over and above basic salary stuff, we also give guaranteed bonuses, petrol cards, extra leave based on tenure and have a flexible provident fund. Most importantly, we have an open-door policy when it comes to pay – we encourage people to talk to us about their concerns when it comes to money. Whether it’s dissatisfaction or life has happened, and you need cash to support a family member or dig yourself out of a hole, we will try to figure out a solution with you. Show me the money ? No way! We never put people alone at a customer, and you’ll always be surrounded by Entelectuals and Entelect leadership, even if you are working with the customer’s team and stakeholders. This is important to us both from a culture and customer service perspective. Having groups of people together means that we can check each other's work and sentiment, thereby ensuring that the customer gets the best quality of delivery and service. We put a huge amount of emphasis on ensuring each team remains connected to the mothership and its culture, and our customers are incredibly supportive of that.
