Pros

* People - People tend to be outgoing, inclusive, and willing to help. * Work/Life Balance - The earned PTO and Sabbatical for Consultants allows for impromptu mental health days and planned vacations. * Access to Leadership - The owners of the company do respond to emails and will send unsolicited emails to consultants to congratulate them on articles or newsletters the consultant posted. * High Profile projects - Slalom is getting more and more access to high-profile, challenging, and interesting projects.

Cons

Managers that don't believe/follow core company values - Some upper management only consider their career and profit, not how much they are working their teams in order for them to be profitable.

Pros

I was always impressed with Slalom's business model and the unparalleled success they have found as a locally focused consulting firm. Now being apart of the company I can see why we have been able to achieve that. With our strong focus on employee engagement, work life balance, community involvement, and delivery of amazing work to our clients Slalom is a truly a unique place to live your work life. It is exciting to be part of a growing company that provides meaningful work with Fortune 500 companies and has an unlimited professional development budget (within reason). In addition to that, Slalom provides great perks like an all expense paid away weekend once a year, monthly happy hours, quarterlies, and a 4 week sabbatical after three years of service. If you are tired of being on the road and working with remote teams, Slalom provides a high touch consulting experience.

Cons

As a growing company, Slalom has gotten better each year on the benefits they are able to provide employees. Just this year they sent an HR representative to each office to talk to employees about what was most important to them so they could pull together a strategy of things to implement next year.

Pros

- Work-life balance is excellent. The management cares greatly about ensuring we work hours within reason. I have even been told to "not work late" when a manager once saw me sitting at my desk while he was heading home (it was 6pm). - Management I can trust: I sincerely believe the New York management has my best interests in mind. The GM is thoughtful, smart, fun to be around, and a great motivator for the office. I have never worked in a place where the head of the office can both feel like a leader AND a friend. Meanwhile, the head of my group and my career counselor have me feeling like I could never find better support anywhere else. - I have been allowed to forge my own path. If you want to create something here and if it works for Slalom's business, you've got a match! This company will enable you to grow into the consultant or business manager you want to be. - Lots of company happy hours, dinners, opportunities to get involved in projects outside of work - No travel (unless you want to) - Office culture is extremely happy (overall- though there are a few sour grapes...but you can navigate around them and they usually don't seem to realize you're even doing it)

Cons

- PTO is insanely bad and not competitive. - 401k match is too low

It's wonderful that you find both the work and culture to be so fulfilling and that the management style is so conducive to functionality and happiness. I ensure that your feedback regarding PTO and 401k benefits as well as continued learning initiatives will be heard by leadership.
