      Great leadership opportunities. Veteran consultants who enjoy the local model. Good culture.

      Pros

      Good people, pay, benefits, and culture. Career path opportunities have improved. Local model is great for those tired of the plane travel. Good choice for mid-career focused consultant looking for leadership position (bigger fish in a smaller pond.)

      Cons

      More established markets always appear better connected to the company. Lots more younger, less experienced consultants (trying-to-consult) getting hired. Just 'cuz your title says you are, doesn't make you one. Still relatively unknown and often thought of as a staff aug firm.

      Pros

      I value working for a company where everyone has experience to bring to the table and a story to tell about the journey they have taken to find Slalom. As part of the a growing market/office, I have enjoyed the entrepreneurial spirit with the backing of a national office. I have really enjoyed being on smaller, quick delivery projects that add immediate value to our clients and look forward to growing into medium sized projects as our office grows and sells more business. I love the group of people I work with! Even when out at clients we stay connected with each other through social media, quarterly meetings, lunches, happy hours and others.

      Cons

      Vacation is only 3 weeks which is not that great. 401K match is terrible.

      Company struggling with growth and direction

      Pros

      The people are so nice! Nearly everyone I met and worked with was just a nice person. This will most likely change as they continue to grow so quickly, but currently, it's just nice people to be around. The work-life balance is also a huge pro; there were times I worked nights and weekends, but I had a lot of flexibility. However, this is not across the board.

      Cons

      Some employees who were constantly forced to work nights and weekends threatened to quit. Management knows this is an issue but also didn't want to stand up for those employees to the client. Disheartening to know that the culture and values only go so far, when they definitely talk it up all the time. My department also had a lot of issues getting work, so there was a lot of downtime. However, unlike other consulting firms, my office didn't have bench projects, so non-client time meant not doing any work. For people who are paid hourly, this is a nightmare.

      This is John Tobin - Thanks for the feedback. I am trying to figure out what "department" you must have worked for where you did not get an exit interview. If you want to follow up with me directly as a form of an exit interview, feel free to call (206) 374-4221 or email me at johnt@slalom.com. Also you could reach out to feedback@slalom.com to provide anonymous feedback. Thanks for your consideration in doing this.
