Pros

Slalom is the only consulting company I have worked for or even heard of that successfully lives up to its promise of having an amazing culture and taking care of its people. As a technologist, there's nothing quite as exciting as working at an IT consulting firm. You get to continually tackle new problems using the latest and greatest technologies while solving meaningful problems for your clients. When you combine such an exciting technical landscape with Slalom's relentless focus on employee happiness as well as a thriving startup-like company culture, well, you end up with an amazing workplace that attracts the best talent!

Cons

Due to the rapid growth of the Toronto office, we keep outgrowing our cool space (despite multiple expansions so far). As a result, you end up with a pretty busy workspace and a heavy dependency on headphones with good music until we expand our space yet again!

Pros

- Fantastic work life balance - Great culture - Nice, fun-loving people - Decent compensation

Cons

- Projects are poorly managed; problems at every level - Very forgiving and nice (as opposed to cut-throat) culture has led to the accumulation of unmotivated (and in some cases, unqualified) people - Management consulting work is peripheral to the firm's core IT solutions; this is frustrating if you are not interested in doing IT consulting - Not a very conducive environment for professional development
