Pros

Local delivery model is valuable to our clients, our consultants and our community. I am able to do interesting and innovative consulting work at meaningful clients, while also being involved in my children's lives, participate in my community and give back. The breadth of services offered by Slalom makes our services relevant to almost any client, significantly opening the aperture of where we can add value.

Cons

While our organization is relatively flat, as we grow we are adding in certain process areas that can be cumbersome. The good news is that our growth and expansion requires a greater level of process, the down side is that it feels less startup-like.

Pros

Great culture and clear company goals and path. Consultants work where they live - no unwanted travel. Great company events every quarter including an annual retreat to a destination in Texas (+1s welcome!). Internal focus on career growth and training opportunities available. Fun and voluntary activities outside of the office (sports teams, book clubs, etc.). Lots of community involvement opportunities as well.

Cons

Although consultant paths are more clearly defined, Internal (operational roles) are not as clearly defined in the past. However, I've seen this change in the right direction as of late and look forward to seeing roles and paths more clearly defined.

Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts. Sounds like the culture and structure (as well as the perks) of Slalom are working for you. Thank you for your advice around defining internal roles more clearly and maintaining the culture that sets us apart/makes us different. I will makes sure that leadership hears those thoughts. If you have any other feedback that you'd like to share, we'd love to hear it. Please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com.

Consulting the way it SHOULD be

Pros

Slalom has figured out the consulting model that satisfies both employees and clients. An amazing culture that focuses first and foremost on doing the right thing is a rare find in consulting. This value creates collaboration rather than competition internally and builds major credibility with clients who understand we want to be true business partners, not just sell them a service or product they may or may not need. Leaders are expected to put people first which creates a culture where everyone is seeking ways to improve and help each other rather than boost one's own career at the expense of others.

Cons

Growth spurts can occasionally put a stress on the culture as new hires need time to acclimate to the collaborative culture and shed some of the undesirable habits that may have led to success at other consulting firms. PTO is also lower than other consulting firms, but the fact that average work weeks are much more reasonable than typical consulting firms helps to balance that out.
