Pros
- My managers and superiors were incredibly supportive of my career growth and development, including transfering to new client engagements when I was burnt out or needed a change. - The company has numerous outings and gatherings to keep the offices close. These are a lot of fun and are a great break from the day to day of client work - Client engagements are not typically sold just to meet a bottom line, but rather to raise the levels of the client and give consultants a chance to work on some substantial work. - It's a national network of local market offices. I worked at two of the offices over 3 years and got to work remotely with 8 other markets and all very smart people. Each office has it's own flavor, but every office hires kind, smart, and engaged people. - Local market offices mean you are not in an airport every week, rather you get to sleep in your own bed every night.
Cons
- The cons of Slalom are generally issues that consulting firms have... -- You don't work with your co-workers very often if you are a consultant. You see your project team most often, if you aren't staffed in an individual contributor role. -- In addition, with consulting, you could be ramping up for new clients and new environments as quickly as a couple months. - Sometimes the senior leaders can be cliquey, which doesn't prohibit professional opportunities, but can make connecting with them in social settings outside of client work.
