Pros

The Slalom culture fosters employee empowerment to be creative in developing new ways to bring value to our clients. The management team is very supportive in collaborating on new ideas and provides trusted thought leadership. The company motto of "Always do what's right for the client" is truly embraced by everyone who works here.

Cons

The only negative I can think of is that I didn't come here earlier. The work is challenging and the people are increadible.

Lots of really talented engineers from a diverse background make it a fun place to be. Very strong technical leadership who I trust to lead the practice. I really enjoy the variety of technical work we do and there are always new opportunities to try new languages/frameworks/etc.

Cons

I really don't have any cons personally I enjoy working here.

Pros

-Get to work with super nice considerate people that I still get keep in touch with -Some travel -Improving on what hardware engineers can use. I was originally forced to use this giant brick with crazy bad resolution.

Cons

Often I felt like I wasn't respected for the value I was giving to the company. I had to fight tooth and nail to get a better monitor and laptop while non engineers seemed to all have macbooks. I was put on projects time and time again with companies that wanted us to just keep the lights on. When I complained about the type of work, the standard response was that I needed to improve my attitude and that good engineers and consultants find ways to score even in the darkest of environments. I might of been ok for a while if was getting paid anywhere near the avg software engineers salary. When you get billed at 150+ dollars and hour and only make 30, it feels pretty bad to hear "There just isn't money in the budget" during salary negotiations. When I left I doubled my salary. Slalom seems to care more about tracking what everyone is doing and how long its taking them to do it, then delivering good solutions for its clients.
