Slalom reviews

When many companies say that "our employees are our most important assets" they don't back it up with action. Slalom puts their employees first and take many steps to ensure that their actions speak louder than words.

I come from the technology/development side of the company, so my review will be more applicable to those people exploring a change within that space. I've been fortunate in my time at Slalom to be given complete ownership of my career as well as a great deal of autonomy. Slalom is a well-trusted partner to its clients within the Atlanta market, and we are usually given a lot of flexibility when it comes to defining architecture and making technical decisions. We also tend to be given control of entire solutions and rarely if ever have any staff augmentation roles. Consultants are encouraged and supported to seek out professional development opportunities (classes, books, conferences, etc), so make sure that you want to continue learning when you join. Culture is highly protected and valued at Slalom. In addition, the development practices have taken additional steps to protect culture by centralizing a lot of the work that is done. Typically, development projects out of Atlanta will be done leveraging a mix of time at the client site and working out of our offices. This allows the entire team (and team members on different projects) to work in the same space, share ideas/collateral, and interact throughout the day. This is a rare thing in consulting, and it has had a hugely positive impact on morale and feeling as though you are part of a team.
