Integration
From the day you join the company, your manager is your primary advisor.

In fact, they will help you to manage your career through project tracking and annual appraisals.
Developing your skills
When choosing its consultants, Abylsen deliberately gives priority to an “excellent level of expertise”. The added value that you, an Abylsen consultant, bring to the client is above all the result of your technological and business expertise. You have high-level initial training (a “grande école” engineer) and professional experience that enables you to “be an authority” in your chosen field of competence. Joining Abylsen as a consultant opens the way to the significant opportunities for development offered by Group promotion policy. A variety of opportunities arise for all consultants to further their expertise and take on managerial responsibilities. All Abylsen consultants build a customized career path for themselves, based on the diversity of the corporate issues handled, the type of services provided for our clients and the fields of technological expertise covered by Abylsen.

Business Unit Managers
Consultants may, if they wish, progress to the position of Business Unit Manager. Supported and “coached” by the director, they capitalize on their training (a degree from an engineering or management school) and personality (commercial and leadership qualities) to meet a challenge similar to developing a start-up. Managers who have proven their ability can then move on to become Business Company Directors.
Directors
They are at the head of the company, answerable to shareholders for the results of their division. They fix the objectives of Business Units and coach their managers. They are entrepreneurs, used to innovating and taking risks to develop their company at a fast pace. They are recognized professionals, with perfect knowledge of the economic sectors in which their Business Company is specialized. They are involved in the development of the Abylsen group, which combines a geographical market segmentation and sectorial approach at the level of the main European regions.
