      Pros

      Slalom is doing a lot of things right. They do a good job of focusing on culture and making you feel like a part of a company that cares even as they've grown. There is a nice blend of "professional corporate" while still feeling small enough to feel personal. Despite not being a high level decision maker myself, I always felt comfortable approaching and talking to people at all levels of the organization including Tobin. If you are motivated and clear about what you want to do, you can generally steer your career the way you want. Want to learn a certain technology? Be aggressive about wanting to be involved in it and you will most likely be hooked up. I moved on from Slalom but am glad that I spent several years there. It was a great experience with a great company.

      Cons

      Slalom at its roots is a sales focused company that feels like it. People with a technical skillset (with or without people skills) will be better compensated at a tech company that prioritizes technical ability. The 401k match is dreadful Higher levels feel very white/male/Accenture No paid paternity leave They take FOREVER to fire the truly terrible employees, foisting a lot of painful problems on others who have to clean up the mess and get things done.

      Pros

      Slalom has hired some good employees that care about doing good work, you don't have to travel if you don't want to.

      Cons

      Too much focus on run rate goals and being "first" to hit targets instead of getting the best people in line for success or implementing the best ideas. Management is *way* to slow in eliminating bad employees. Allowed one to stay on for almost a year even when it was discovered that he was outright lying about business development and expenses. A lot of my ideas that come from experience in building a practice were either dismissed or ignored despite my having a direct line with companies that could bring business to Slalom. Some of the management reverts to big 4 ways despite the "different kind of consulting company" rhetoric. Asked for more responsibility and increased title and was told to just keep doing what I am doing. Never happened.

      This is John Tobin. I am proud of how fast and well we have grown in our Houston market and I feel good about the direction we are heading there. I do understand that with every high-growth entity there are some challenges, my hope is that you are open and honest with your feedback to the team and especially Jeff. If you wish to share any specific experiences, feel free to email me to set up a time to chat - johnt@slalom.com.
