      Enjoyable, Innovative, Fun, Challenging

      Pros

      Good work-life balance. Executive leadership identifies areas to grow and solidly commits and follows through on seeing those changes happen. Lots of excellent, smart and hard working coworkers. Office has matured into many solid projects and advanced work.

      Cons

      There are definitely high expectations for productivity and participation when working here. I enjoy these things but not everyone does. Things can get from calm to crazy depending on the project but that's sort of the nature of the work.

      Employee retention could use some attention

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work life balance is good most of the time, but there have been projects that have required me to work weekends in order to meets the client's "deadline" - A lot of happy hour events, which allows you to really get to know your coworkers - Many fun extra-curricular events through the year

      Cons

      - Salary and overall benefits package is well below average compared to my peers (with the same job title) at other companies - Only two weeks of annual PTO (no sick days) - A lot of people (including myself) seem to just get thrown onto uninteresting projects that we may show marginal interest in - I feel too much like a "yes" man while at work - Too much staff augmentation projects - Generally not challenged enough

      This is John Tobin and thanks for the "positive outlook" response and your feedback. Since I live in Seattle, feel free to stop by or schedule time to discuss any of this feedback you have in person. I will share this with the Seattle leadership team especially your desire to be more involved in considering your next engagement.

      Great environment, happy people

      Management consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation, training opportunities, work-life balance, perks, entrepreneurial spirit Some of the same, great people from the big consulting firms, minus the hand-slapping for not understanding convoluted processes that I was never trained properly on. It is a safe place to learn and grow deep skills. Looking forward to working with a variety of clients instead of staying at the same place year after year. The environment is family oriented, and really supportive. It is easy to have a good time when you work with great people who are willing be to flexible and work together to achieve goals. Probably the most significant difference is how easy it has been to step up and work on all of those things I never got exposure to before, but wanted to. I guess that is the benefit of being at a smaller company in general and how they help you get the experience you want.

      Cons

      Breaking into a new market for Slalom... but that is the reason why I joined in the first place!
