Pluspunten

- Good diversity only at individual contributor level - Everyone is kind and helpful, onboarding is great

Minpunten

- Pay is much lower than competitors (20-25k). Attrition rate amongst engineers is high because of this. You'll be given an offer that they refuse to negotiate with but told that your career opportunities there are great to make up for it. You'll receive a "quiet promotion": more responsibilities for 1k extra per year. - Incredibly misleading about diversity and inclusion. Leadership is all white men, "bro culture". Top heavy org that talks about diversity but fails to offer diverse role models - Slalom masks layoffs as "performance" issues as you will be asked to work about 5 full time jobs at a time. If you don't, then your performance isn't according to their silly little Excel sheet they use to assess your skills. - Glassdoor reviews are engineered and don't reflect reality - 1 month after onboarding they ask you to write reviews here with the purpose of maintaining their score and status - Impossbible to switch projects, you'll find yourself working on extremely uninteresting platforms - Most clients are very enterprise-oriented and it's common to deal with legacy systems. If you're looking to work with cutting-edge technology, look elsewhere. - Make sure you always say the right words, always say yes to socials, because this is what gets you promoted.

Minpunten

-Started to take a turn in 2024 with layoffs - becoming like a lot of other consulting companies -Got rid of a lot of perks/get togethers, etc. which is understandable given how the market went, but they really started tightening budgets which meant no bonuses/salary raises for a while
