"I recently worked for a client whom extended our engagement after we completed a short trial phase of work. The company's CEO took our team aside and gave us two reasons for extending: not only had our team pushed the organization's thinking and delivered great results in a short time-frame, but the client genuinely enjoyed our down-to-earth and collaborative culture."

"Marakon is small but its opportunities and global reach are extensive. In my current project we are helping a global consumer care business create focus on the top priorities for organic growth. I have led working sessions with country leaders around the world including those in the US, China, Brazil, Russia, and India. The experience has been invaluable – in both the soft skills I have gained through managing different cultures and in the opportunity to build the business case for investment in small, but high growth, emerging markets"

"I have just finished my first year at Marakon and am continually amazed by how much I can learn here. It is all down to the opportunities I am given: within my first week I was meeting clients, within my first month I had a one-on-one meeting with a senior executive at one of the UK's biggest health insurers, and within 6 months I was running my own workstream and coaching a junior client. It is incredible!"

"Marakon has provided me with great learning experience where formal training is relevant and complementary to project experience. People development is always at the top of the firm's agenda."

"Working at Marakon offers unparalleled career flexibility. I spent my first year after undergrad in New York and my second in London. Working abroad was a fantastic experience – I developed close friendships with my colleagues and had projects in Paris and The Hague. After London, I took a short sabbatical to work in Tanzania with TechnoServe, and now I find myself back in our NY office. You just can't do that at other top-tier firms!"

“Being a part of a small and growing firm early in your career means you have opportunities shape the direction of the firm, that you would be unlikely to get in a larger firm until you are much higher up. I have been involved in organising conferences, developing our recruitment and leading connectivity meetings. All of these things make me feel more connected to the firm and it's future.”

“Marakon has allowed me to work in four different offices over the last 7 years, while more recently being involved in leading one of our biggest client accounts on the continent. Being able to help Executive Committee members of big multinationals address their biggest issues – and seeing the impact of our work – is incredibly exciting.
Our business model allows the luxury of hiring only the best people, and working on the most interesting (and highest value) issues with our clients. By actively investing in our people's personal and professional development, Marakon makes sure our people remain our biggest asset – the core of what differentiates us from others”
