What keeps us here?

When we moved to Australia in 2020, we had no idea just how important our work/life balance would need to be. We've asked our consultants what makes Slalom a great place to work and the most common answer – "the freedom to be ourselves when life gets in the way". We make a big effort to bring everyone together and allow space when space is needed. We believe in helping each other thrive in work and life and are proud to invest in benefits that include holistic wellbeing, meaningful allowances, and investment in our team's professional, technical, and personal growth.
