Join us for a career in management consulting

We are looking for candidates with the capability and drive to engage with our senior client stakeholders. Graduate candidates should have strong academic achievements, holding a master’s degree from a top university in STEM fields, business, finance, or economics, while our senior candidates should have an MBA degree, or experience from a leading strategy consulting firm.

We seek highly motivated individuals who demonstrate structured thinking, exceptional analytical skills, and clear, impactful communication. We especially value curiosity and the drive to explore new concepts, ask insightful questions, and develop innovative solutions to complex challenges.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our culture. Our consultants represent a wide variety of experience and nationalities, bringing diverse perspectives and personalities, while sharing a strong foundation in analytical excellence, structured problem-solving, and high ambitions. We welcome individuals from all personal backgrounds, and we are committed to creating an environment where everyone has equal opportunities to succeed while feeling valued, supported, and empowered to perform at their best.

Interviews will usually be held at our office in Stockholm or virtually. International candidates may have one or more interviews by videoconferencing to limit the need for traveling. Each interview takes about one hour and consists of three parts: a personal fit interview, a case interview, and a Q&A discussion.

The personal fit interview is structured as a general discussion to understand your background, previous experience, and why you would like to join us at SPP. We will explore your leadership skills and the potential contribution you can make to our team. The key to this phase is to show that you understand what SPP and Ericsson do, and to convey your motivation for joining in a credible and structured way. We would encourage you to spend time to prepare for this phase.

After the personal fit discussion, each interviewer will give you a case interview. The case interview is to gauge your ability to logically structure and solve a problem, your analytical ability, and your judgment when it comes to making reasonable assumptions. See below for more advice on how to prepare for the case interview.

Case interviews are all about using your analytical skills and judgment to structure and solve a typical business problem. These may or may not be telecom related and will almost always include quantitative reasoning to arrive at an answer and final recommendation. Remember that clarity of communication throughout the case is just as important as the solution itself. We encourage all candidates to spend time preparing for the case interviews. There are several good books on case solving as well as sources freely available on the internet to help you along the way.

As part of our interview process, each candidate receives a buddy to assist by offering a mock case, answering any recruitment related questions, or questions related to any other topic that the candidate wants to know more about.

To create an environment where individuals with diverse neurological profiles can thrive, we adopt certain practices in our recruitment process. By adopting these practices, we believe that we can harness the unique talents and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals fostering a more inclusive and innovative Ericsson:

1. Preparation: We try to share as much information about the interview process and questions as possible in advance to allow candidates time to prepare and showcase their abilities effectively.
2. Accommodations: For our interviews, we provide a quiet, neutral space and offer accommodations as needed, such as extra time or breaks. If requested, we can share additional information e.g., on the location in advance to allow for mental preparation.
3. Focus on Strengths: During the interviews, we try to emphasize each candidate's strengths and potential contributions rather than solely focusing on any perceived limitations.
