Pros
Joined Slalom from a large consulting firm. So far, Slalom is everything that I thought it would be and what everyone told me from the recruiting process. A few examples... 1) A culture with psychological safety - you are encouraged to pursue what you are interested in, only get involved in things that you want to (rather than other firms where it is expected to spend hours each week on non-client work) 2) A focus on work life balance - leaders do not expect you to work late and actively protect their teams. It's the little things, like managing scope with clients effectively, being ok with testing out work-in-progress ideas and truly co-creating with clients (rather than big consulting firms that have so many layers of hierarchy and review cycles and re-work), and leaders jumping in to help with work no matter what seniority level they are at. Here it feels that I am trusted to do my job well. I am encouraged to prioritize my well-being and I am surrounded by like-minded people.
Cons
Because it's a newer, smaller consulting firm, not all types of consulting work is well built out. There are some areas that Slalom does very well and sells lots of work in, and other areas that are still in the early stages of growth. I think this actually is a pro not a con for people with a growth mindset as there are so many opportunities to help the company scale.
