Pros

Very experienced group of consultants, honest unselfish leadership. You will get to work with people who have been around the block and very few new college grads.

Cons

Time off per year is a little short. There seems to be little coordination between the different functional groups and not much clarity around project pipeline, but this is minor and only matters when someone is between projects.

Pros

Pay (for non-skilled positions) Variety of work could expand a resume for junior team Colleagues selectively picked to have very similar personality types

Cons

Big group consulting with the guise of "Local" presence. Same bill or fire attitude Management monoculture breeds micromanagement behaviours Pay is below scale for technically skilled labor

Pros

* For consultants that do not want to get on a plane, Slalom is a very good choice * I met some pretty smart people while I was there * All the projects I was on were solutions based projects, where Slalom owned the deliverables * Back-office products and technology was nice ie time sheets software, software on your laptop and Intranet

Cons

* Very limited MSDN subscription * No insight into what the promotion process consist of * Slalom is not very diverse. Very few African-Americans and Women at Slalom and very few in leadership positions * As others have stated, Slalom consists of a lot of Big-4 type consultants. In Slalom Dallas, many in leadership are from Hitachi Consulting * Long commute and absolutely no room to negotiate any type of toll reimbursements * Working from home is looked down upon and mostly not an option * Extremely corporate and even wearing jeans in the office if you are on the bench is considered inappropriate
