About Davidson Consulting

Joining Davidson isn't just about integrating a group of 3000 consultants across 6 countries and 2 continents. It's about joining THE company that has been voted by its employees as a Great Place To Work France and Europe for 4 consecutive years, and also one of France's largest B Corps, named Best of the World in the 'employees' category in 2022! (B Corps are a community of companies committed to being the best FOR the world, not just the best IN the world).

Our development is founded on strong principles:

• Deep respect for all our stakeholders: consultants, clients, and suppliers. We believe work should not cause unhappiness, so we commit to listening and acting with honesty.
• Equal opportunities in candidate selection and career management for our employees. We believe in a workplace where gender equity, inclusion, and diversity are the norm.
• A minimal environmental footprint and maximal societal impact. Beyond your missions, you can contribute to projects Davidson supports, such as international solidarity missions (with Planète Urgence), volunteering with associations (each Davidsonian has 3 days per year for this), mentoring students from underprivileged backgrounds (with Article 1), investing in innovative startups, and collective/individual actions to reduce our carbon footprint.
• Adhocratic management based on the principles of 'horizontal company' and 'tribal management'. Well-being at work is a luxury a 'solid' company can afford. This means Davidsonians must combine initiative, commitment, and professionalism. We strive to recruit people better than ourselves.

We encourage applications from people with disabilities and are committed to meeting their specific needs.
