Pros

Slalom is a large systems integrator that has been able to grow quickly. They offer career growth if you are willing to abandon every other aspect of your life.

Cons

Customers do not come first. On my projects it was clear that it was all about the profit. Things sounded great in the interview process but was a very disapointing experience after I decided to join and tried to intergrate into the team. Very closed culture... did not feel included.

Pros

Slalom is fantastic if you are great at self promotion. The horizontal organizational structure requires you to find ways to differentiate yourself through things other than title. This is a huge 'Pro' depending on your personality and drive. The focus on people is also very, very real. Slalom recognizes us as their greatest asset and reminds everyone of this focus on a very regular basis. Great office events. Did I mention the people? The people are great.

Cons

A majority of the client work is focused on roles that would otherwise be considered staff augmentation work. While I understand the importance of maintaining a semblance of the staff augmentation business model (for reasons of blending out variability in revenue, etc.), the associated work may not be what new hires are sold on.

Pros

- Local model, didn't need more than a Muni pass to get to work, much less a plane ticket. - Great people, every Slaom consultant I worked with at client sites was talented in their field, and highly motivated to do the best work possible. - Work/LIfe Balance, 40 hour weeks are the norm.

Cons

- Business rather than technology driven, as a software engineer it's hard to get excited when technology doens't take the forefront, especially in northern California. - Office culture can be cliquish, there's definitely an "in crowd" that management at lives gives the perception of viewing more favorably. -
