Pros

Safe work environment that allows you to grow at your own pace. You can go as hard or essentially as "slow" as you want. It is entirely up to you in which direction you choose to grow your career.

Cons

Some internal power hungry folks that have an inflated sense of self worth for themselves...

Pros

Great location and facility - The branding and image are impressive at first glance, but as you dig a little deeper it's a facade.

Cons

Very harsh and dishonest management - I'm not sure if it's insecurity or just emotional damage, but the management brings forward false allegations in an attempt to harm employees. It becomes difficult to continue to defend yourself.

Pros

Opportunities are plentiful for those who bring a willingness to work hard to realize their ambitions. Fast growing company leading to increased opportunities for all. Innovative career development framework available for consultants who understand that in order to advance your career you must be proactive. Get to work with some very smart and creative people. Constantly being challenged to grow and develop professionally. Good salary and overall benefits.

Cons

Typical cons of working for any consulting firm; unknown and typically longer commute times, complex and challenging work with tight deadlines, higher standards expected of your work product, work assignments can vary greatly sometimes interesting roles but other times staff augmentation. I love consulting! I love the variety and the challenges of my role, but it can be tough. Clients will typically blame the consulting firm before taking any responsibility, but most consultants are professional enough to take it on the chin and move forward. It's a tough job but I get to work with some amazing people at Slalom which makes it all worthwhile. If I wanted an easy job I would have been frightened away by the challenges of consulting long ago.

Thank you for writing a review of Slalom. It’s good to hear that the opportunities, the company’s growth, your colleagues and your compensation are all working well for you. You’ve attributed your cons to the nature of consulting, but it sounds like you thrive in this environment. That’s awesome. Thank you for the reminder that while we continue to grow, we shouldn’t forget that our people are at the center of what makes us great. We absolutely agree and we won’t forget it! If you have any additional feedback that you'd like to share, please email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com. Thank you.
