Pros

Slalom has an excellent culture, molded by their set of core values which are a very big deal to them. There is a culture of collaboration and team work at at Slalom which I gather is very unique among consulting groups (this is the only consulting role I have been in). Their preference for experienced hires means the workforce is a bit older (mid 30's average) and less hyper competitive, which some may see as a drawback but I personally enjoy the extremely reasonable work life balance that seems to come with that. At no point during my time at Slalom have I felt anything less than fully supported by a team; that my success was the organization's success and vice versa.

Cons

As so often mentioned before, the benefits are good but not great compared to peer organizations. The 401k match and PTO really stick out as problematic to me. The local model they employ is really great except it creates really inconsistent experiences between markets. I've also seen some really puzzling cost cutting decisions, like a refusal to get enterprise teleconferencing established. Consultants live on the phone; it astounds me that Slalom expects us to use free versions of conference line services - it definitely makes us look cheap to clients. On the whole though, these are small cons compared to the pros.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
