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.
