Pros

Strategic work is a major pro. I saw a few other reviews, sounds like the complainers you get in big firms with people that don't cut the mustard. Bottom-line from what I have experienced is that Slalom cares about its people greatly and the work is strategic. I'm currently working on a project for a Multi Billion dollar company that is growing leaps and bounds and will triple in size in the next 24 months. They are growing by acquisition and I'm working on a team to do the core M&A and Organizational Design initiatives. I love it. Also the client is huge but still doesn't work with the Big 4! They don't want the mega deal sales style and have a consulting firm come in a create a dependency which is what Big 4 tend to do. This is their words, not mine. In fact, our major buyer at this client was from Accenture and won't go back to buy from them. Anyway, I love the Slalom, I continue to learn and grow which is what the expectation was coming in. The culture is everything and more then I thought it would be. They hire very smart people and my leadership is very open and honest about the business. Its nice to have that visibility where I didn't get that in my last firm.

Cons

Not a lot to mention. More vacation I guess but I find that since I'm now off the road, I have way more time to do the things I love to do. Its also a firm that I take a few days off here and there, work from home some Fridays or Monday so if someone was complaining about 3 weeks instead of 4; I think you actually get way more time at the end of the day at Slalom. Don't get me wrong, I get what people see on paper with 3 weeks, I take my week long vacations too. When I was on the road at my old company, I needed 5 weeks of vacation, reality was, I never got a chance to use it though.

Pros

Amazing culture, great people, fabulous place to work and grow your career.

Cons

Great flexible career path- but it is up to you to pick/choose where you want to go. Sometimes more clear options would be nice.
