Pros

I've been with the company 4.5 years and they've grown tremendously. There are plenty of opportunities to advance your career on either a practice area path or with the sales (account team) path. Compensation is more than fair and I'm pleased with how I'm rewarded based on performance for yearly bonus and raises. There is still flexibility and little red tape to try new things, expand your skills and get staffed in a areas that will "stretch" your skillset to grow quickly. Great support for training either internal or external, you just need to make the business case.

Cons

In Atlanta office, there is still a significant percentage of work that is sold as an individual contributor role. This isn't much different from being a contractor and unfortunately some clients view it that way as well. All it takes is a very difficult client in a long-term role to impact a person's morale. Paid vacation has been improved, but it's still nowhere near the big 4. Maternity leave is short term disability and after 1-2 month return, you receive the balance to make you whole for a total of 8 weeks leave. Decent, but we can and should do better for our working moms.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It's wonderful to hear that as the company has grown, some of the aspects you've identified as being big positives have maintained their integrity. I will make sure that leadership at the National level as well as in ATL hears your feedback regarding the leave benefits and being staffed as an individual contributor. Thank you for your feedback and advice. If you have any additional feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com.

Pros

Transparency and availability of the leadership tied with the engagement of the employees creates a contagious culture in and out of the office. The firm is growing fast, but the key is that they're doing it in a sustainable way and maintaining the smaller firm feel.

Cons

The benefits might not compare to some other players in the industry, but the leadership is focused of filling the gaps as the company matures, which is encouraging.

Pros

Work life balance is key. Clients respect us. We get things done. Truly agile, or post agile.

Cons

Clients don't know what we're worth yet–we are still establishing our brand. Though those that know us, respect us.
