Pros

The people are legitimately great. I really enjoy working alongside my peers, solutioning client challenges with my teams and leadership, and grabbing beers after work with pretty much anyone at the company. It's a fantastic blend of new challenges all the time, the ability to build and expand the brand, a great support system (front office / back office / national / local), and a company that knows how to have fun. Our projects are increasingly strategic, challenging, and valued by clients.I enjoy going to work. I enjoy hanging out with coworkers after work. It's a great place to be.

Cons

Some of our legacy clients still view us as a Staff Augmentation firm and some of the "old guard" still think about our company that way too. This is changing, but it's a process. Also, if you need a super rigid work structure, with a well defined career path (i.e. 12 months after an MBA you should expect X title, and 12 months after that you should expect Y title), you might be disappointed. Our company is growing, it's fluid and dynamic, and that may not be comfortable for everyone.

Thanks very much for your detailed and thoughtful comments. It's great that you are enjoying the culture, your colleagues and clients. I'll make sure that leadership hears your thoughts regarding the "old guard"- an insightful and nuanced piece of feedback. 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.

Pros

My experience in the last year and half has met or exceeded my expectations for what I was told/heard about Slalom. Every company says their people are the number one priority and culture is so important but I have never seen a company invest more in both than Slalom. At every client I have worked at since joining Slalom I have heard " you really are different than the other consulting companies we have worked with" "we really appreciate you always doing what is best for us"

Cons

So far, none for me. Most of the cons I saw in other reviews are being actively addressed by senior management.

Pros

Great Culture, strong consultants, pushing towards a services oriented model placing teams to deliver results to clients.

Cons

Lack of definition and growth as an individual consultant due to flat organization. The HQ office, Seattle, carried the growth expansion which at times impacted the local market ability to expand.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and thank you for being a part of Slalom for 5+ years. I'm glad to hear that you found the experience to be positive overall. I'll make sure that leadership hears your thoughts around supporting personal and professional growth to avoid attrition, as well as the point about local versus national work/expansion. If you have any other feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com.
