      Some good people, good work life balance, no growth

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compared to previous consulting companies, I will say I like the people I work with here much better. I have a life and am home with my family for dinner every night. I'm not hopping on a plane every week, which is great.

      Cons

      Lots of politics still, feels like a frathouse environment - moreso in some groups than others, no growth in my career since most of the work we do is staff aug, i can't say i've learned much in the amount of time i've been here, although i'm not hopping on a plane every week i am driving out to suburbs over an hour away each way which still gets me barely enough time at home. compensation is subpar at best.

      Good Company, Bad lower Management

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is great. No Travel if you wish. Plenty of vacation time.

      Cons

      Poor lower management. They place consultants into positions just to fill a spot but in turn set consultants up for failure by placing them into areas they have no experience. Let clients walk all over their consultants. Can be very stressful work.

      This is John Tobin. This is good feedback - we continue to improve our people management training, but we admit that sometimes we stretch people and we need to watch this. I encourage you to talk openly about this with the senior leadership (including your GM), in the Denver office - I feel this is good feedback to provide to them directly.

      Overall good but need consistency with some of the policies

      Consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a number of great perks working at Slalom. Stocked fridge, unlimited snacks, beer on tap and the constant availability of food and beverages at company functions. They do not do anything on a small scale when it comes to out-of-office activities (holiday parties, team outings) and they are extremely generous with these types of events. Annual outing where you are allowed to bring a significant other for an entire weekend away from the office, with almost all of the expenses paid. The former Chicago GM still sends an email on everyone's birthday or anniversary which pretty impressive considering the number of people that are now work in the Chicago office.

      Cons

      The company grew fast but some of the perks and benefits of this don't seem to have coincided with the growth. The 401K match is still extremely low, the PTO is catching up but the work/life balance model seems to be inconsistent between teams. Some members of leadership restrict or limit the ability for individuals to work remotely when between projects or even when they're on internal projects which isn't what was "sold" as a benefit during the interview and recruitment process. It also seems like that as the company grew, employees were promoted into management positions due to tenure and not because they are qualified or have "people management" skills.
