Pros

Slalom has figured out the consulting model that satisfies both employees and clients. An amazing culture that focuses first and foremost on doing the right thing is a rare find in consulting. This value creates collaboration rather than competition internally and builds major credibility with clients who understand we want to be true business partners, not just sell them a service or product they may or may not need. Leaders are expected to put people first which creates a culture where everyone is seeking ways to improve and help each other rather than boost one's own career at the expense of others.

Cons

Growth spurts can occasionally put a stress on the culture as new hires need time to acclimate to the collaborative culture and shed some of the undesirable habits that may have led to success at other consulting firms. PTO is also lower than other consulting firms, but the fact that average work weeks are much more reasonable than typical consulting firms helps to balance that out.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
