Pros

I really enjoy working at Slalom. I love that I am not stuck traveling weekly anymore, but still am able to work with the newest cloud technologies. I feel like Slalom doesn't cheap out on their employees, the company hosts a lot of events (happy hours/team events) which always have continuous free food and drinks. Little things like this mean a lot to me. When we have more formal events like State of the Office or Quarterly events, you can tell that the they actually take time to organize and make these enjoyable events, rather than just scrape up some things to talk about with last minute preparation. In addition to all of the above, I also am a fan of Slalom's annual retreat. It is a unique perk to have a weekend getaway covered for yourself and your significant other - with the rest of the office. A cool way to get to know your colleagues, who really end up becoming your friends. Culture is also a great part about Slalom. If you come from a larger consulting company, you will likely experience some culture shock when you're no longer treated as just a number. Instead, you'll find snacks/drinks in the office and people shooting each other with nerf guns. Finally, given the company is still growing so quickly, I feel there is a lot of potential for career growth.

Cons

There aren't many to be honest. Our current 401k match is 50% of contributions, up to 6% of your salary in total. Although this is pretty decent as it is, I think it would make Slalom and even more unique and desirable place if this was an even more competitive benefit.

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
