Why Berylls by AlixPartners
Perks
AUTOMOBILITY
We are all about automobility. At the heart of our industry’s transformation, we are preparing it for the future. We are proud of the breadth and depth of our expertise and the way we have developed it.
FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility in the workplace plays an increasingly important role. At Berylls we don’t believe in “one size fits all” – we address the needs of our staff in ways that always respect the individual. Working from home and part-time working are just some of the opportunities we offer.
11+1 MODEL
Our “11+1” model allows all our staff, who have gone through a selection process, to take paid leave for one month. How they use this leave is entirely up to them.
TEAM AND EVENTS
Mutual support, both in work and personal life, is important to all of us at Berylls. We bond as a team by holding numerous events and by celebrating our successes together, irrespective of sectors and national borders.
DEVELOPMENT
At Berylls you will be encouraged to flourish and motivate others. Close support from your Mentor, tailor-made coaching, and training on the job all guarantee a steep development curve. The long-term professional development of all our employees is our common goal.
DIVERSITY AND AN INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK
Diversity is a critical factor for the success of our team. Here at Berylls we focus not only on diverse demographic backgrounds, but also on a mix of people with a wide range of professional backgrounds and personal qualities. We set these teams to work worldwide, so that wherever our customers need us, we are there.
DIVISION AND REGION TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES
The diversity of our divisions is a unique asset. It offers our staff the opportunity to move between roles and develop their fields of interest. Likewise, our presence in the world’s leading automotive markets allows transfers between offices and regions.
STAFF RECRUIT STAFF
It is always a challenge to find the right people for Berylls. So we involve our own staff in the search. That is why every member of staff who introduces us to someone who goes on to pass their probation gets a referral bonus of €5,000.

A word from our CEO
Curiosity, an open mind, excellence, passion, and engagement, together with respect for others: these values lie at the very heart of Berylls.
Curiosity is central to what we do. As industry experts, we are constantly looking for answers to questions about the future of automobility. We take one step at a time, always ready to face new and complex challenges – and actively seeking them out. We share what we discover with our clients and network partners. Because our curiosity never ends, when we solve a problem we just start looking for the next one.
We think like entrepreneurs and act like consultants. We are results-oriented, down to earth, engaged and open-minded. As experienced debaters we discuss demanding issues, constructively involving all decision-makers. We are a loyal partner who will give an honest assessment. Having an open mind means being open to other opinions and perspectives, and always being interested in the context of every question.
Excellence runs through everything we do. We go the extra mile and always strive to explore how things could work better. When it comes to our work for clients, delivering substance and quality are core requirements. Experience is key – not just in automobility but in digital transformations too. We are leaders, constantly evolving and developing to stay that way. Excellence is what drives us on.
In the past, we might have said: “We have gasoline in our blood.” Today, we say: “Electricity runs through our veins.” We live and breathe automobility, and that drives a boundless passion to innovate and to transform one of the world’s most fascinating industries. Our belief in the digital automotive future motivates us. Developing new technology for all the businesses along the supply chain motivates us. We are shaping the electric future.
We maintain relationships with our clients long after a project ends. Our door is always open for questions about specific challenges or for advice on up-to-the-minute industry trends. Internally we believe in teamwork and group effort to help grow the company; externally we engage with communities and charities in ways that make a difference and even change lives.
Our outstanding results spring directly from our respect for our clients, network partners and our teams. Achieving excellence demands an open and honest environment. Respect at all times is a given. This applies not only to the way we work, but also to how we treat the environment and the way we support our staff in their private lives.
Professional development
Berylls Academy and individual development
Our Academy organizes a combination of training programs involving external and internal trainers, individual self-study courses and online training to create a perfectly balanced structure for personal development. The Academy also strengthens the cohesion between our different divisions as most of our training takes place on a cross-sector basis. However, at Berylls we don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. That’s why our staff also have access to individual coaching and development opportunities.
Berylls Bootcamp
Even if jumping straight in at the deep end can often be successful, we like to offer a warm-up for the induction of junior staff at Berylls – so we launched the Berylls Bootcamp. In their first week our junior colleagues won’t be directly staffed on to a project, but instead will take their first steps in learning what it means to be a consultant. They’ll be equipped with the necessary tools and skills of the trade to enable them to become active project members. They’ll also have an experienced Mentor at their side to support them in their first 100 days.
Mentors and Buddies
Staff development days
Our staff are our most important asset, so we place a strong emphasis on further development. We hold two staff development days every year, when the management team discusses each of our consultants. To achieve this, they cover individual performance in the past six months, possible development areas and coordinated steps to be taken, as well as possible promotion or salary increase. Alongside our consultants’ development, the further development of our support staff is also of great importance. We discuss their performance and development at the end of every year.
