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.

Pros

- It really is fun, entrepreneurial and inclusive - that's not just a tag line. - The hierarchy is flat, and everyone's encouraged to follow their passion - if you have an idea, you are free and supported to pursue it and make it happen. More over, the organisation aligns to make it happen fast. - Unlike other consultancies, work-life balance is considered very important and is protected which is a major plus. - No unwanted travel policy. - Very little to no staff-augmentation work - we are working with exciting clients on exciting projects - It's a growing business and a very exciting place to be. One of the biggest positive surprises in my first weeks of joining was the fact that strategy discussion was in the open space and everyone was welcomed to participate in the discussion and shape the future of the company.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

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.
