Welcome @ TC
Our recipe for success: respect and dedication
We are passionate about payment and innovative, payment-related projects. Our workspace is flexible – in the office, on site with our client’s team, on the train or comfortably at home. We invest both in satisfied employees and first class equipment so that our consultants can work as variably as possible. Joint activities provide a well-deserved balance for busy days well organized with appointments and deadlines, and create a welcoming and relaxing change.
We are a young team – open-minded, adventurous and family-like. Our offices provide a feel-good atmosphere with fresh fruit, water, coffee, ergonomic desks and joint luncheons.

There is no progress without curiosity. We are open to new ideas and continuously look forward to challenges in complex projects. Enthusiastically, we are testing innovative payment solutions and scrutinizing both ourselves and our working methods for constant improvement.
„Exciting projects with a variety of subjects, combined with awesome colleagues and a unique team spirit offer new challenges for me time and time again. At the same time, I have an environment in which I can unfold my personality. Hence, quite stressful project times are complemented by very cool company events.“
Alexandru Schultheiss
Senior Consultant
„Having started as a Student Trainee, I wanted to gain real-life insights into the day-to-day work of a business consultancy aside from my studies. I could support the team on exciting projects which enormously helped me to develop both personally and professionally. This, as well as the unique atmosphere in the team, encouraged me to start my career at TC after completion of my Master degree in Scotland.“
Laura Ambos
Junior Consultant
The key reasons for starting my career in a specialsed consultancy were both the opportunity to apply methodical skills and gain sound knowledge in the financial services sector. During my employment, I have learnt to appreciate the solidarity and the familiar atmosphere at TC – as well as the option to match my personal life situation with my doctoral thesis and my job.”
David Schoppa
Senior Consultant
„In my job, I wish for varying tasks and am therefore happy that I can currently work in Switzerland and learn a lot about the Swiss payment market. Furthermore, I appreciate the training opportunities at TC for my personal development. At TC, team spirit and trust are at the top of our priorities, so that there is always room for a laugh – even in challenging project times.“
Julia Quittek
Junior Consultant
„After roughly 20 years of working in the corporate environment, where I came to appreciate TC as a service provider, I „changed sides“ and joined TC as Manager with interesting future development prospects. Innovative client projects, low hierarchies with short decision-making channels and most of all a highly committed and qualified team create a very positive work climate. TC is defined by team spirit and the willingness to help instead of internal competition. Achieving the goals and success for our clients is our focus at all times.”
Eike Maybaum
Manager
TC Events
At TC, team spirit is valued very highly. The unique atmosphere in our project team enables everyone to strive for excellence and accomplish outstanding project results for our clients. Therefore, throughout the year, we bring our whole team together and take time off as a company to think beyond the horizon and discover what’s driving our clients – and ourselves. Over the years, our team has come up with a broad range of activities.
On day 2, we discuss our current projects, our visions for the rest of the year, new topics or methodics. Part of our offsite is carried out in smaller working groups, sometimes following Design Thinking or Lean Start-up methods to introduce everybody to these new skills. During these workshops, we all meet and discuss on eye-level.
Kieler Woche – Sailing Regatta on the Baltic Sea
With our origin in Kiel, we traditionally meet for our Summer Workshop at the Kiel Week, the world’s largest sailing-event. In sunshine (rarely in the rain) we sail a traditional sailing boat on the Kiel Fjord and watch the regatta from close by.
On day 2, we face the challenges which lie ahead – and discuss the visions of our clients as well as the ones of our company. Another tradition is our Advent Calendar – a chocolate a day helps to get us through the last days of the year.
Christmas Party – thank you for a year’s work
A harbour cruise by night, ice-curling, joint cooking, theatre … every Christmas holds a new surprise to close off the year. Distance from the office allows everyone to relax and enjoy themselves without any deadlines.
„O’zapft is!“ Over 16 days, the festival of beer, amusement rides, side stalls and games as well as traditional food attracts millions of visitors. Companies often use the Wiesn for corporate entertainment – and so do we! Following a Jour Fixe in the office, we start with a traditional Bavarian dinner, consisting of roast pork and knödel. The evening sees everybody dancing.
Wiesn – Munich’s Oktoberfest in dirndl dress and lederhosen
Since we opened our location in Munich, our annual visit to the Oktoberfest has become another tradition. We enjoy a fun evening with delicious food in one of the smaller tents, with music to dance and, yes, we admit, one or the other „Maß“.
Health and fitness are important for our team to balance busy working days, sitting at the desk and travelling. Running is one of the sports which can be easily combined with project work, even when staying in hotels.
Also, we offer our team a discounted fitness club membership available in all major German cities.
#teamtc – Charity team run
Hamburg Commercial Bank Run, JP Morgan Chase in Frankfurt, B2Run Company Run in Munich and Zurich - at each of our locations, we have a team at the starting line. Team spirit comes before speed - but most important is the fun part!
We spend one or two days on the slopes: skiing, snowboarding or sledging, with an optional ski instructor and, most importantly, a lot of fun!
Most of the team feverishly look forward to our skiing weekend.
TC goes Skifoan – Skiing the Alps
A cosy hut, a crackling fire, homemade pancakes and one or another board game after dinner - our mountain lodge experience is better than any hotel!
Being away as a travelling consultant means that you are away from friends and family quite a lot of evenings. But even on-site, our teams make sure to schedule regular dinners to ensure a healthy work-life balance.
Feierabend! Time for After Work Drinks
New colleagues, birthdays, successfully completed projects - there is always a reason for a toast. With this, we enjoy both, coffee and cake as well as beer, wine and pretzels and the occasional film night in the conference room.
