Smart people that you can learn from. Eagerness of everyone to be successful and to make others successful. Exposure to many industries and people - you can gain a great amount of experience in a short time.
Options available to limit travel or to go on the road.
I can speak to my management at-will and candidly.
Cons
Don't get to see all of the employees very often, due to everyone working at their respective clients... though there are channels available to stay in touch.
Vacation is on the low side.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It sounds as though your relationship to your peers, managers and the work is very fulfilling. That's great. As you point out, it is sometimes difficult to connect with colleagues while working from client sites. Your thoughts regarding vacation time and the cultivation of the culture of your office will be shared with leadership, but if you have any additional feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com. Thanks again for taking some time to leave a review.
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
