      Interesting projects at a great company

      Solution principal
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - So far I have been on 3 very interesting projects in under 6 months - No more travel! - They really do try to keep every one involved and happy through countless happy hours, quarterlies and an annual get away, though its not compulsory. If you just want to do your thing that's fine too. - The company is growing fast with almost no-one sitting on the bench

      Cons

      - Can sometimes be a little isolating if you are the only person at a client, but so far thats the only con I can think of

      Weak & Insecure Leadership Team

      Management consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's like Grad School for Accenture rejects, who could not advance in Accenture's hierarchy. Think about that... do you want to join another Accenture? Consultants overall are not as skilled as advertised. Business Intelligence team is extremely weak, almost unable to staff. We are still unable to staff technical resources on my project, so most consultants are on an island by themselves - taking all the heat from the client. Little to no support from the weak management structure.

      Cons

      Weak & insecure leadership team. Leadership team blames anyone but themselves, so be careful of this type of environment. There is no clear view into pipeline and projects, nor project alignment to skill sets. Management team - I've never worked any place where they are this insecure and closed off. No vacation - any time off is taken from pay (doctor, sick time, family emergencies, etc.). Awful. Relatively low pay considering model. Beware of variable model of pay, as bench time will lead to half pay and/or termination. 4-7% bonuses on average. No pay raises. Do you want to earn $40-50 an hour, have little to no chance at advancement and continually clean up after other weak consultants? My advice - you deserve more than Slalom. Don't believe the hype.

      Best place to work for SO many reasons!

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pros: - Work/Life Balance, not a micromanaged environment. - AWESOME culture and fun activates (yearly get-a-way with ALL Slalom employee's and plus 1). - The people are very talented! We're a family that care about people not only with work, but personal as well. - They treat people as their biggest asset!

      Cons

      Con: - Things change a fair amount, but this can also be a pro, because we are agile enough to change when we see a way to do something better.
