Pros

- Lacks rigidity in work processes - Attempts to create a 'different' kind of big firm consulting approach

Cons

- Whether a genuine con or not, the reality of working here is a mismatch with what they pitch. In particular, recent consulting industry challenges has led the Slalom to revert to 'old school' consulting practices (e.g., required travel, offshoring solutions, up-and-out performance ranking, regular layoffs) that the big firms started moving away from years ago. - Leadership is extremely reactive and lurches from crisis to crisis without a meaningful plan. - Projects are almost entirely 'staff augmentation'; despite pitching that it sells sophisticated products and services, this is not the reality of the work that is done for clients. - Internal operations, from HR to staffing to sales to proposal development, are incredibly poor. Extremely painful.
