Pros

- Fantastic, experienced, smart people to work with (no junior consultants!) - Lots of opportunities to help grow the business - both internally and externally (sales) - Super friendly culture with lots of social events - Low key, laid-back attitude balanced with high standards of delivery - Great facilities for such a small company - Highly flexible work environment - you can really live the consulting lifestyle here! - No travel unless you want to - Great salary and vacation - Very hands-off management, because they only hire senior consultants they trust you to do your job, manage your client, and work with your team

Cons

- Small market limits type of work and clients, which means sometimes you just have to do what you have to do! - No junior consultants means you have to do all the dirty work too :) - Benefits package is mediocre at best, I'm paying a lot more out of pocket - Flexibility comes with risk - if you're on the bench you only get paid 50% of your salary - Because it is a growing, small company - bad infrastructure (slow network, no knowledge management, very little process in place) - Just starting to define career paths - very little career management in place so you really have to find your own way

Pros

I spent a long time with Accenture before joining Slalom Consulting. Coming from a Big 4 firm, I wanted to get away from the things that had begun to wear on me over time: overwhelming bureaucracy and controls, little to no input on my own staffing, political maneuvering, and increasingly less interesting work. I was looking for a place where I could move at my own pace, have the opportunity to do the kind of work I wanted to do (as opposed to what the firm wanted me to do), return to a more merit-based rewards system, have more of a say in my client engagements, have the ability to impact part of the business, and be able to work in a truly consultative model. Slalom Consulting has provided all of this and more. Leadership encourages people to find their strengths, take risks and go after opportunities that you would not be able to pursue in larger, more controlled firms. I think that Slalom Consulting is a best-fit for consulting professionals who have figured out what they really want out of a job AND what they want out of a personal life. I have found that it is possible to enjoy both in equal measures. Summary Pros: - Compensation is Strong - Entrepreneurial Mindset - Supportive and Fun Culture - Interesting / Game-Changing Work - Amazing People - Broad Offering of Services for Clients - Flexible Career Model - Great Social Events - Ability to Work with Clients in Your Local Community - No Forced Alignment to Industry Verticals

Cons

Internally, I think that Slalom Consulting could do a better job at communicating with its employees; maybe celebrating successes more. Additionally, PTO could be stronger; I lost some time coming from Accenture. I understand that the model is different and I no longer get on a plane every week, but still a bit more PTO would go a long way. Summary Cons: - PTO is Average - 401k Match is Average - Training Budgets are Average
