The company follows through on their values. They're not just writing on a memo, but something engrained in the culture. Slalom hires talented people that match their core beliefs. It can sort of feel like everyone is gearing up to drink the kool-aid, but after you've been here for a while you feel like family.
Cons
London is growing, and there are a lot of new faces So if you're adverse to change or fast-paced growth, it might not be right for you.

Cons
I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got
I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us
it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs
my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year
my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager
work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review,
straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
