      talks like a big 4 but run like a staffing franchise

      Pros

      Great place for ex-big 4 consultants who want to get off the road. Strong socializing culture. Recruiting does a great job building up the possibilities.

      Cons

      It's really a body shop run by ex-senior managers who never received leadership training or experience. You are on your own to promote yourself, so sucking up to the MD's is a must to get ahead.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Slalom as a whole seemed to be a well run organization that cared about it's employees. Some project work could be exciting

      Cons

      Each office was run in a silo. The projects were general staff augmentation rather than true consulting

      This is John Tobin. With 16 markets now, I understand how a person in one market may not feel connected to the whole. We have made great strides with our cross-market communities to drive more cohesion from our delivery centers and across our local markets - we are always trying to improve this area of Slalom and this is part of the Team pillar of our strategy. If you want to provide more specific feedback to me, I would love to hear it - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com. Thanks for your review.

      The best company I have ever. worked for

      Pros

      I've been working for 15 years and have had 5 employers in that time. The mix of amazing work opportunities, culture, and entrepreneurial nature are what make Slalom the best company I have ever worked for. I have read the few negative reviews, and it's clear that those people didn't try. Slalom is a place where you can create what you want: want to work in X industry? Sell a project in X industry and you'll have the full weight and support of the company behind you. If you're unhappy at Slalom, it's probably your own fault. John Tobin, President, makes it a point to stay connected to everyone in the company. You can e-mail the guy and expect a call or swift e-mail in return. He visit every office quarterly, if not more often, and takes all new employees to lunch to get to know them. His ability to remember the names of literally thousands of people is impressive.

      Cons

      401(k) match isn't as good as it could be. There is no typical path towards leadership like at most consulting companies (but there is no up or out policy either which is a big PRO).

      Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts. It sounds like the unique mix of our culture, our client work and our structure has been working very well for you; that's great. And the connected and tuned-in nature of our leadership resonates for you. Equally as important, we are aware of the issue with the 401(k) match; we are in the process of reviewing and revising our benefits. Finally, you're correct, there is no typical path of advancement, but as you also point out, there is also no "up or out". Your feedback, both the pros and the cons, will be shared with leadership. Thank you for your advice regarding hiring people who will want to stay. If you have any additional feedback that you'd like to share, please email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com.
