Pros

Smart people. Promotes work/life balance. Many extra activities outside of work to get involved with

Cons

Not always enough work to go around. Bench time if you are hired for specific skill, and no work available.

This is John Tobin - Thanks for your review and feedback. We do try different offerings / practices at times and it can definitely be challenging to get the right balance of projects / skills for some specific areas. I think our website www.slalom.com does a good job of portraying our main services, and I appreciate the patience people have to have as we explore newer less chartered territory. Feel free to call or email me to discuss your specific situation (206) 374-4221.

Pros

Slalom has allowed me to have a sense of independence I enjoyed when self-employed, and at the same time given me the support, drive, and sense of community I have enjoyed about working at a company. My experience with my team and management has been a very positive one, with honest interest from my boss on whether I am happy with my client, work and team, and a shared sense of responsibility for my career growth. Slalom has some great perks, such as the 4 week paid sabbatical once reached 3 years/6k billable hours, some nice training and self-education resources, and a great support network across the organization. My experience at Slalom has been a positive one, with management very interactive, interested in retaining consultants and understanding what is and is not working around the office. Slalom is very thoughtful in their hiring process, and therefore very invested in you and your happiness as an employee.

Cons

Not a large amount of paid time off; greater diversity within management is needed; while a lot of opportunities to participate in "non-billable" internal projects, business development, and "fun" office activities, often can become challenge to do all and balance with billable time.

Pros

Great company culture; senior management cares about its employees; fun benefits (annual retreat, prizes, social opportunities/activities); work with really smart people; great "family" feel; great values; fast paced and growth oriented company

Cons

A lot of focus is placed on developing the consultant (career development, compensation, bonus structure, etc) and not a lot of attention is given to employees who are internal to the company (non-consultant). There aren't as many growth opportunities for non-consultants.
