Pros

Slalom is the only consulting company I have worked for or even heard of that successfully lives up to its promise of having an amazing culture and taking care of its people. As a technologist, there's nothing quite as exciting as working at an IT consulting firm. You get to continually tackle new problems using the latest and greatest technologies while solving meaningful problems for your clients. When you combine such an exciting technical landscape with Slalom's relentless focus on employee happiness as well as a thriving startup-like company culture, well, you end up with an amazing workplace that attracts the best talent!

Cons

Due to the rapid growth of the Toronto office, we keep outgrowing our cool space (despite multiple expansions so far). As a result, you end up with a pretty busy workspace and a heavy dependency on headphones with good music until we expand our space yet again!

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
