Pros

* For consultants that do not want to get on a plane, Slalom is a very good choice * I met some pretty smart people while I was there * All the projects I was on were solutions based projects, where Slalom owned the deliverables * Back-office products and technology was nice ie time sheets software, software on your laptop and Intranet

Cons

* Very limited MSDN subscription * No insight into what the promotion process consist of * Slalom is not very diverse. Very few African-Americans and Women at Slalom and very few in leadership positions * As others have stated, Slalom consists of a lot of Big-4 type consultants. In Slalom Dallas, many in leadership are from Hitachi Consulting * Long commute and absolutely no room to negotiate any type of toll reimbursements * Working from home is looked down upon and mostly not an option * Extremely corporate and even wearing jeans in the office if you are on the bench is considered inappropriate

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
