Pros

I've just started at Slalom and we are in the midst of the COVID-19 isolation lockdown (pretty much globally). I was apprehensive about starting a new role during this time but the team at Slalom made me feel incredibly welcome and connected despite everything being remote. Their approach to recruitment, sales, strategy, technology and transformation are all extremely ahead of the curve and you can tell immediately that the business hires for the right values first and foremost. Their commercial maturity is apparent with their growth over the past 20 years (through some difficult times including the dot com bubble burst, the GFC and now COVID-19) and they continue to be committed to that growth plan and to their people.

Cons

Their parental leave policy is not quite as good as others in the tech industry in Australia and their appetite for purchasing recruitment tools (i.e. LinkedIn) isn't as positive as I thought it would be. But these are all things that can and probably will evolve over time.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

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
