Crystal clear, right? It’s not just us, it’s the whole industry that’s gotten itself tied up in abstract words and meaningless lingo. We’re here to skip all the nonsense and give it to you straight. No fuzz, no sugar coating, just transparent and data driven facts about what we do and who we are.
Give it to me straight
Our first step is always to dive right into their business, get to know every inch of it and assess what needs to be done in order to make their business perform on top. We’re fascinated by facts and figures, evidence and analytics and use it as a foundation when turning difficult challenges into bright solutions – ambitions into achievements. Projects into bottom line results.
We deliver services like commercial due diligences, market strategies and R&D efficiency, to mention a few. If we condensate it to a minimum you could say that we deliver services clustered into three themes; M&A, Strategy and Business Improvement.
Private Equity
Industrial Equipment
Telecom
Travel & Transportation
Technology & Innovation
Retail & Consumer Goods
We work on projects in business improvement, M&A and a variety of strategic initiatives – anything our clients need really. Turning ambitions into achievements.
But we're aiming for more

Women
But of course our goal is 50/50!

How many Konsultdojor* are there at Cupole? You decide!
*'Konsultdojan' is a classic, ironic and weird Instagram account making fun of the stereotypical consultant dressing in 'representable and ergonomic' shoes. Sometimes reality is even better than imagination, just look at ours.
*eNPS (Employee Net Promotor Score) is a widely known index to measure organizational happiness on a scale from -100 to +100. A score between -10 - +10 is considered good. A score above 20 is considered phenomenal! The eNPS is an important part of our weekly pulse surveys where we measure different aspects of employee happiness.

Most of our clients are based in Scandinavia either through the location of their operations or their headquarters, but many of them have a global footprint. We go where the projects lead us.
Consulting often requires traveling.
“Strategic challenges, client-facing early and collectively building the company.”
What do you think of our handbook? We always welcome feedback!
The bottom line is that every career decision at Cupole is based on data and facts, rather than personal opinions. We believe that data, science and a dash of pragmatism are great ways to improve everyday life at all workplaces – especially when it comes to taking career decisions and developing our People.
More than that, we believe in transparency of information as a way to reach a high level of individual responsibility in order to maximize Cupoleans’ and Cupole’s growth. So, how do we build and develop you into a great consultant, advisor and Cupolean?
Call us old fashioned but we believe in having a defined career ladder, with clear expectations on each role. This doesn’t mean that we don’t problem solve, discuss and socialize across seniority. We share business performance with all consultants every Friday and involve them in internal projects to make Cupole as great a company as it can be.
We believe that clear and transparent expectations on what good looks like and honest and straight feedback are great ways to grow as people, leaders and consultants. But in the end, the speed of your learning curve and your career development comes down to your ambition. You as Cupolean are in charge – set the goal and we’ll help you get there.

It’s really not as crazy as it might sound, it’s just that having fixed salary levels for each position makes more sense to us.
We don’t want the best negotiators to get the biggest paychecks or to be affected by unconscious biases. With great compensation and a transparent model, we want to put paychecks off everyone’s minds and let them focus on learning and developing – because that’s where the largest payoff comes from.

“Personal approach, high strategic level and a lot of responsibility.”
“Culture is a concept most people would probably describe as equally important as it is vague. Because although culture undoubtedly defines the atmosphere at a workplace, it is extremely hard to define what that really is, or what it consists of.”
What do you think makes a great company culture?
The secret ingredient in building a strong culture that supports performance and learning whilst having fun has nothing to do with cool buzzwords or having core values and code of conducts published on an intranet (at least not for us).

Elements is one of our internal initiatives that acts as social glue outside of our normal office hours. It’s our ‘leisure club’, a key facility that allows Cupoleans to have a good time together away from our usual work duties. It’s a way to get to know each other better, in order to strengthen the team and have fun whilst doing it. Cupoleans have the option of pitching an idea for their own Element, or simply sign up to join existing ones. Would you choose going to a stand-up event with ‘Culture Club, oyster tasting with ‘Food & Wine’ or playing video games with ‘Gaming Renegades’?

What activities would you want to do with your colleagues, to get to know them better outside working hours?
“At Cupole, you’re free to recharge in any way that fits you best. Whether it’s traveling, socializing or sleeping – you have eight weeks each year to do whatever you please.”

This makes the profession exciting, but sometimes these expectations can take their toll, making it difficult to unwind. What makes one employee relax doesn’t always work for the next, which is why we created our Flexibility program. To give everyone the chance to create their optimal
life situation.

We know that if our colleagues feel on top, they will perform on top. That’s why exhilarating workouts, calming massages and a fridge full of great food is part of our everyday life. Start the day by attending a sweaty spinning class or push through tough core exercises at lunch, or simply by having a great meal with your brilliant colleagues – it’s up to you!
One of our corner stones in our culture is that life is short, and you should enjoy it whilst it lasts. We do yoga, riding,
volleyball,
pinball,
and much more just to enjoy ourselves. Also, we’re a team of dedicated ski enthusiasts which brings us to the mountains
as often as we can.
“Cupole is a place for dedicated people with colorful personalities”
But if your ambitions are high, you like solving business problems as well as taking an interest in the people you work with, we will provide you with a great platform for you to build your career and develop yourself from.

Thanks for taking the time and getting to know us. We are super curious about you now, get in touch!
It’s as simple as being really thorough – combining scientific theory and (here it comes again) data collection to guide the decision making. But that doesn’t mean that the interaction should be technocratic. We give every candidate a professional and engaging experience when interacting with us. Our process is pretty rigorous and consists of the below components (but not necessarily in that order).
It doesn’t matter if you are a person who prefers a handshake,
a hug or a fist-bump when you meet someone new.
We are always keen on connecting with new people.
Let’s have lunch sometime?
