What would be, in your opinion, the perks/processes/code of conduct that a consulting firm should have in order to attract (and keep) good developers ?

I personally don't like commuting/travelling for work, also I don't want to wear suits on a daily basis, and consequentially I avoid a lot of them (wouldn't be a good, as they say, "cultural fit"...). So, being remote-friendly is a huge plus in my books (for every company, not only consultancies)

Yet, there are a few tech consultancies on my radar that I would consider applying at/working for, if I wanted to change my job.

They all have in common, that they invest heavily in their people, i.e. give them time and budget for personal growth, research, learning, participating in the wider community. As a matter of fact, in many cases I knew some of their people first and then looked up what kind of work they were actually doing.
