15+ Years of Growth and Opportunity at Keyrus
How It All Began
Back in 2005, when I left high school, I had a solid foundation in business and IT. This broad background opened several career paths, but for me, the choice was clear: data.
Why I Joined Keyrus
I wanted to put my passion into practice, and after several interviews, I chose to join Keyrus. What stood out to me most was the approachable management and the easy, open conversations I had with HR during the interview process.
A Recognized Name in Data Consultancy
I was also drawn to Keyrus' proven track record and reputation as a leading name in data consultancy. Working for a company with a strong industry presence gave me confidence that I would be exposed to exciting projects, cutting-edge technologies, and opportunities to grow my expertise.
A Culture That Stands Out
From day one, it was evident that there was a strong sense of camaraderie among colleagues. I was told (and later experienced firsthand) that both official and unofficial events were regularly organized—Thirsty Thursdays, quarterly updates, annual family weekends or company events, summer barbecues, karting nights organized by colleagues, and more
Growing Within a Changing Industry
Of course, the company has evolved over the years. We've grown in size, the IT and data landscape has changed, AI has emerged, and economic and political challenges have come our way. Yet, despite these changes, Keyrus has maintained its personal approach to communication, recognition, and management accessibility.
Learning, Coaching, and Paying It Forward
With growth comes structure, and today, we have dedicated teams that allow people to focus and develop in areas that interest them. Support systems like buddies and coaches ensure that no one is left behind. I’m proud to say that many of the colleagues I started with are still here, which speaks volumes about the company.
What I Do at Keyrus
Throughout my career at Keyrus, I’ve worked with several clients across various industries—each experience has been rewarding, both personally and professionally. I've received offers to join some of these clients full-time, but I’ve never taken the leap.
Motivated to Go Beyond
Why have I stayed?
- I wanted to grow professionally and gain experience in diverse environments. From the start, Keyrus provided the right guidance—I was coached by a senior data architect and later mentored by senior BI developers. Even today, I continue to learn from my colleagues in both the visualization and data engineering teams, who work with a variety of tools across different industries.
- Keyrus ensures the best fit between consultants and clients, both professionally and personally.
- I have the opportunity to give back by mentoring and upskilling new joiners.
- While I primarily work on long-term projects, I also enjoy occasional challenges—such as stepping in to support another client or contributing to pre-sales activities.
- There are ample opportunities for career growth, both vertically and horizontally.
- Most importantly, I feel valued and appreciated for my work. I genuinely enjoy what I do and start each day with a smile.
No regrets
Looking back, joining Keyrus was one of the best decisions I’ve made—I’ve never regretted it.
