For me the most important thing is the perfect balance out of keeping a short and a long leash. Keeping it too short will harm intrinsic motivation through a sense of being responsible, while keeping it too long prevents accurate feedback and accountability. This in combination with a general sense of values, especially fairness, respect and candor paired with a good atmosphere makes a great company for me.

I would try to describe the typical traits of a consulting company (e.g. talk about meritocracy, fast learning curve, brilliant colleagues).

Best,

it should be open minded and allowing the different people to express their opinion but also allowing them to improve their soft and hard skills. 

We can only learn by our mistakes and this should be also tolerated by the company. So mentoring is one of the key elements that a company should offer their employees.

My ideal company is one that fosters an environment where everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow to their full potential. Additionally, there is a culture where ideas are able to flow and new solutions to old problems are welcomed. With this approach, innovation and improvements will naturally follow.
