Pros

I came to Slalom from one of the really-big consulting firms, and couldn't be more happy. This feels like a place that people come when they've realized they love consulting and don't want the work/life-balance associated with the big firms. The people here are phenomenal - experienced, hard-working, and love living life. The work is good, going home every day is great, and working with phenomenal people is the icing on the cake.

Cons

There's an adjustment period coming from a company with hundreds-of-thousands of people to Slalom, but you'll get past it and realize how much better your life is quickly. Great place to be!

Pros

Some great people. Fantastic IT support. Pay is fairly good. Challenging projects. Many good clients. Great events especially the annual getaway weekends for each local office.

Cons

Teams are growing very quickly which causes lower utilization rates and penalizes existing employees at bonus time. It can be very difficult to get training. They are hiring lots of Deloitte and Accenture folks so the culture is quickly turning into a shark tank.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for your review and your work with Slalom. I will share your feedback with the Atlanta team. As I hope you have heard me and other leaders say - our culture and feel at Slalom are paramount, so I will want this to be addressed quickly if you are experiencing something less than ideal. If you have specific feedback or suggestions feel free to reach out to me (johnt@slalom.com) to connect live on this topic. Thanks again.

Pros

1. Numerous learning opportunities. Slalom does a great job providing training/learning resources. I personally love this the best. 2. Different industry exposure - high learning curves and very helpful for consultants. 3. Problem-solving skills of managers. 4. Smart and helpful coworkers.

Cons

(Mandatory) Quarterly and ALL the social activities are held after work hours. It's extremely inconvenient for working parents who live far away. Not so much for work-life balance.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for you review and your all your hard work at Slalom. We definitely try to put a lot of events out there so people can collaborate, connect and have fun on a regular basis. I would just be pretty honest with your leaders on when you really can and can't make events - I feel people will be understanding. Feel free to ping me directly if you feel differently at johnt@slalom.com or you could always provide anonymous feedback via feedback@slalom.com. Thanks
