Pros

A lot of companies say they have a great culture but very few actually do. I've been welcomed with open arms into a very inclusive company that prides itself on the quality and happiness of the people. Openness and commitment to the delivery of disruptive consultancy to help customers progress as well as great social aspects including various sport (5-a-side, running, yoga, climbing) and a real sense of family means I'm looking to stay here for a very long time.

Cons

As we're expanding so rapidly it's sometimes difficult to find a desk in the office when you're not on customer site.

Pros

- Slalom builds things. So you can confidently discuss say digitalising a process or customer experience and with a client that you can confidently say you can build or have access to people who can. - Work for some great clients who want to do cool things. - Flat structure open culture which means you can always share your views with everyone regardless of rank - if you want to improve the office space, take an proposition to market, spitball solutions for clients, improve the hiring experience, improve the benefits....just SPEAK UP! Start a conversation with the person next to you, the MD’s and even the GM (who is probably sitting right next to you). - People laugh a lot. It’s very refreshing to work in an environment where people are happy and like to laugh or make others laugh - Playlists in the office - want to listen to music, share your favourite song with people to get them in the mood. Switch on your Bluetooth and hook up to the office speaker. - Foodies - there is a good number of folks that love to share food experiences - being right next to Borough Market helps a lot and the Flat Iron / Bankside / Bermondsey St. areas - Office location is on London Bridge - perfect for FS clients, commuting into London Bridge, Borough Market. - Growing at a fast pace - bring your energy and enthusiasm - Access to advice and helpful materials from the network for 5000 consultants !!! I email, message or call someone in the network and they respond!!! They share insight, materials (that they can) quickly. This is sooooo helpful and refreshing - this can be a hassle or not even worth trying at the other large consulting organisations.

Cons

that said... - getting kind of tight in the office - but we are expanding space soon!:) - still nailing down performance process - but that’s a good thing - we want to get it right

Pros

The things that have impressed me about the company are 1) the people and 2) the ability to learn from mistakes. I have found that everyone is kind, welcoming and all are just trying to do the right thing - there may be conflicts or differences of opinions, but everyone respects each other enough to work through it. As well, we (as a business) have not always made the right decisions, but leadership has reflected, learned, pivoted and emerged in a better place than before. I will admit, the first few years were tough; it was hard to get our name out there, we weren't always getting the best work, we made some bad hires and lost some good people. But we got through it and now things are so much better - we have incredible talent, interesting projects and the energy is buzzing - you really feel as though you are part of growing something that's going to be great.

Cons

There are growing pains as with any small company growing quickly. There are lots of senior leaders who are great at their craft, so it can be more challenging for those at the mid-level management level to find opportunities to step up / lead and move to that next level.

Thank you for your feedback. It's great to hear that you feel aligned with both your colleagues and leadership on 'doing the right thing.' It's also good to hear that, despite some growing pains, things have solidified in London and are now buzzing with energy and positivity.
