Pros

On it's worst day, Slalom Consulting is the best career move I ever made. I am humbled daily by the professionalism, integrity, competence and drive of my company to better its employees and serve their clients well. Every company has a culture. Ours is simple: family first. We work very hard but we support each other from the top down and we play even harder. That culture of trust and commitment from management is essential to the happiness of it's employees. Our career development framework is spectacular and envied among our peers. I know right where I am on the org chart, how to get to the next level and where my career is heading! Leadership is constantly on the look out for new up and coming leaders and are keen to encourage that growth and invest in their talent.

Cons

The benefits are moderate. I'd like to see more investment in health care coverage and retirement. Would also like to see more time devoted to solutions building. Sometimes it feels like staff augmentation.

Pros

As Slalom grows, the leadership team has done a great job of adjusting the organization and strategies to ensure future growth. These strategies are well thought out - addressing both target clients, and core consulting talents needed to support targeted growth. In addition to recruiting top talent from outside the organization, Slalom has also focused on improving the skills of current consultants through the development of a Career Development Framework. CDF is optional, but allows consultants to grow professionally into leadership positions, or to grow their consulting skills so that they can increase their value to clients. For those opting to participate in the leadership aspect of CDF, promotions are attainable - with some occurring within mere months of participation. Slalom also strives to recognize consultants who go above and beyond for their clients, as well as those who go above and beyond for the organization. Overall, Slalom fosters growth opportunities for their consultants; and as with many things in life, "you get out of it what you put into it."

Cons

Slalom's benefit packages and vacation policies are middle of the road as compared with other local consulting firms. Improvements to either one would really go a long way to attract and retain top talent.

Pros

Slalom has one of the best cultures you could ever expect to find at a company with solid, charismatic leaders; amazing consultants dedicated to delivering for their clients; and a relatively new addition - a career development model (CDF) that allows you to target and achieve your career goals while improving your skills and knowledge base for clients.

Cons

As a smaller (but growing) consulting company, a couple of the benefit areas are a step back from those you might have had for the big 4, but Slalom does a good job making up for it in areas like work/life balance and employee recognition.
