Pros

Slalom's business model is to have local consultants for local clients, which means no travel. It is good for those who have a family and want to see them every evening. Slalom pays competitively.

Cons

Management is very Accenturic! A little arrogance in senior management. Senior management analyzes everything too much and it makes some employees uncomfortable.

Pros

Energetic and fun community Caring and smart management team Entrepreneurial and thinks outside the box Selective and strong recruiting process

Cons

At the end of the day it's staff augmentation firm since the company is not large enough to support too much upward mobility. This may be fine, since many people just want to consult without the "up or out" model of typical Big 4's.

Pros

Slalom has a good reputation in the community, and their hourly compensation model is comparable to other similarly situated consulting firms. Also, every third year consultants earn a month-long sabbatical (for which they receive 75% compensation).

Cons

Inadequate paid time off (2 weeks combined sick and vacation); strings attached to training budget (i.e., must reimburse if you leave within 6 months of using it); 401(k) match is only made once a year (and you have to be employed on the day of payout).
