How InSites Consulting can help you grow

Training and development at InSites Consulting

Innovative projects

We are proud that more than a third of the world’s Best Global Brands choose to work with us. We help our clients connect with consumers all over the world by combining innovative research techniques with a strong marketing consulting practice. Everything we do is designed to generate insights and impact for clients. So you will be challenged both by content & methods and by the clients & consumers we connect with.

InSites Academy

When joining our team, you will be immersed in a tailor-made induction program, combining job-related training with on-the-job coaching and intro sessions to get familiar with our company culture and services. Throughout the year, different initiatives are organized to stimulate knowledge sharing and to get inspired. Just think about our InSites Congress, Sales Café, R&D learning sessions… and the opportunity to attend external conferences keeping you up-to-date on the latest trends in your domain.

Coaching

Our coaching practice promotes ongoing conversations and a two-way dialogue, creating a culture of open and real-time feedback. Together with your coach you will set clear objectives, talk about your ambitions, celebrate success and learn from failures. Through ongoing support and guidance, your coach helps you grow and take the next steps in your career. When you’re joining in a junior position, your on-the-job coach will make sure you become familiar with our company culture and practices.

Personal pace

We believe that people are in the driver’s seat of their growth. That’s why we killed the boring annual evaluations and replaced them with an ongoing cycle of performance management, allowing people to make progress at their own time and pace. Our career path stimulates you to step out of your comfort zone and evolve both on a personal and a professional level. More than based on seniority, your career path will be driven by the right attitude and competences. In other words, we support you in reaching your goals but you run the race and grasp the opportunity.

Empowerment

If autonomy and responsibility fuel you, then you’ll feel right at home at InSites Consulting! We adopt a ‘company within the company’ philosophy, uniting different people in smaller teams with a clear and shared purpose. As a team member, you are encouraged to think as an entrepreneur and to participate in discussions and come up with ideas on the future of your team - and InSites Consulting. Working in smaller teams with people from different backgrounds and cultures also allows for better coaching and faster knowledge sharing and thus will drive your progress more naturally and efficiently.

People in the spotlight

We can tell you all about what it’s like to be part of our team. But nobody knows better than your future colleagues. Meet them here!

“I have always loved everything to do with marketing, market research, ways of connecting people and sharing new ideas. If you really want to work in a company where you can stand out as an individual and define yourself, InSites Consulting is thé place to be. It is the kind of company where you can definitely be creative, choose your own way of working, communicate, share and create knowledge and show everyone who you really are. From my perspective, InSites Consulting defines me through innovation and creativity.”

Madalina, Project Service Manager

“I have had a lot of jobs over the years. Some better than others. But until I came to InSites, I didn’t necessarily feel fortunate to have them. I was happy to have a pay check and often even happy with my work. But here I feel lucky - lucky to have freedom, lucky to receive recognition, lucky to be surrounded by smart people. It’s just a great place to work.”

Farrell, Research Director

“My favorite quote and life motto is by Bob Dylan: “A (wo)man is a success if (s)he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night and in between (s)he does what (s)he wants to do”. That was exactly what I was looking for when I applied for my first job and it’s exactly what I found at InSites Consulting. During the 6 years I have been working here, I have found a great degree of autonomy and trust. This enabled me to learn every day and develop myself the best way possible. Being able to do so in a great environment and supported by colleagues whom I now call friends, is the cherry on the cake.”

Timo, Business Director

“InSites Consulting provides me with the right environment to explore and develop my abilities and creativity. My work is very rewarding, due to the numerous different tasks. It is a pleasure to work in this friendly atmosphere and my colleagues really inspire me to offer them the best office experience every day.”

Iulia, Employee Happiness Coordinator Timisoara

“I am very happy to work at a company that is young, innovative, dynamic and where every employee matters. There is a lot of attention for personal development and there are a lot of career opportunities within the company. I personally have had many different roles and functions within the company, within different teams and within different departments, which enabled me to learn a lot and to grow at a fast pace on both a personal and a professional level. The crazy blend of work & fun is also unique, making it a great atmosphere to work in.”

Liesbeth, Learning & Development Manager

“Working at InSites Consulting has been a never-ending challenge. After almost a decade of experience, challenges are still lying around every corner, from the curiosity of a junior consultant to the brain-teasing research questions of clients. But the true asset is the employee empowerment. You get the opportunity to set your own challenges and to help others in achieving theirs. Learning the ins & outs of innovative research techniques, growing business-relevant domain expertise, leading workshops in exotic countries or getting colleagues enthusiastic about your ideas at our very own congress? Pick your challenge and go for it!”

Pieter, Business Director

“I’m very proud to be an “InSites Original”: it is the one & only company I have ever worked for. I strongly believe that nowhere else I would have been able to grow as much as I did here, nor would I have been able to witness accomplishments as the ones we achieved as a team over the years. In 2003, I joined this small group of crazy academics and ambitious research innovators with a daring vision on the future of marketing research. Today we still are this unique blend of talented people who are determined to take our industry forward. And although we are conquering the world, we are very mindful not to lose the entrepreneurial spirit of the small company we were not so long ago. I love it!”

Magali, Managing Partner

“My InSites colleagues are an amazing group of people, working together as a team, but also having fun after business hours. It’s inspiring to work for big (international) brands that everybody knows and for clients who appreciate working with us. InSites Consulting is a company which uses the latest technologies and software so technical people will not get bored. The innovation is everywhere!”

Gunter, IT Director

“I joined InSites Consulting after obtaining my PhD. I knew this company to be very open to people with an academic career and looking for more relevance, more influence on the day-to-day decisions of businesses with a focus on practical decisions, action points and recommendations. Doing this for several of the biggest brands and companies in the world for an organisation with a creative, ambitious, cool and slightly crazy atmosphere makes InSites Consulting a great place to work!”

Bert, Business Director

“InSites Consulting is a company where values are not just hollow concepts on the website… I still believe becoming an InSiter is the best choice I ever made after getting my degree. We are a very young company where colleagues are more than just colleagues and where you will be surprised by the chances and the opportunities you get. Working here is challenging, even a bit crazy sometimes, but above all: fun! My parents and friends often ask me if I get paid to talk so much about our company. The crazy and fun stories I’m thinking of right now will be shared with you as soon as I meet you in person.”

Stijn, Research Director

Our favourite perks

We care about building a supporting environment where employees feel appreciated and cared for.
These are some of our favourite perks:

INSITES CONGRESS & TEAMBUILDING

Every other year we organize our very own congress with the aim of inspiring each other, sharing stories that reflect the value of our work
and cross-office team bonding. It’s that moment in the year where all InSites employees from around the globe gather in one magical spot.

LOCAL TEAMBUILDING INITIATIVES

From time to time we need to let off some steam. That’s why every office gets full budget autonomy to organize fun and informal team activities. From after-work drinks and BBQ lunches to mountain hikes and swerve classes… we’ve done it all. If you know how to entertain your colleagues, then you might join one of the local teambuilding teams!

EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION DAY

Once a year we celebrate Employee Appreciation Day where all of the attention goes to our employees. Think free office lunches, massages or other healthy treats and a special ‘thank you’ message for every individual employee.

HAPPY MOMENTS

We love to celebrate personal moments! So every time someone takes the next step in their career, gets married, celebrates a work anniversary or welcomes a newborn, … our employee spotlight is switched on.

PERSONAL FREEDOM

We focus on getting the job done rather than on strict working hours. Our flexible working policy allows employees to balance their professional and personal ambitions. So if you arrive a bit later to see the dentist first or want to finish your report at home because you have to pick up your kids, that’s fine. Want to extend your city trip and work from a local office abroad for a few days, you’re welcome to do so!

COMPANY CLOSING

Collective paid time-off between Christmas and New Year allows us to spend a relaxing time with family and friends. And the next best thing is: you will start the year with an empty mailbox!

Backstage

A daily dose of fun and humour is what keeps us from becoming bureaucratic and boring. Don’t just take our word for it. Here is a small preview of our daring spirit.
