Pros

- Great recruiting team that moved the process along quickly given that I had another offer - Nicest group of people you'll ever work with - Reasonable hours - Intelligent, hardworking colleagues - Fun, young culture - Interesting projects - Leadership asks for and listens to feedback (e.g., working on making the benefits better - maternity leave just increased to four months and paternity to three weeks)

Cons

- 7 holidays - They say it's an “opt-in” culture but your involvement internally does affect your bonus, which is challenging for someone who's reserved - Slalom doesn't reimburse you for mileage or parking and parking at some clients costs $25 per day. I wish I had fully realized that when I negotiated my offer - it adds up - Takes a year to start receiving the company 401(k) match

Terrific experience

Pros

All of the benefits of consulting, without the typical downsides such as long hours and travel. Great company culture, senior leaders that listen to their employees and implement changes, good work/life balance, and good compensation and benefits.

Cons

None that I can think of right now.

Consultant

Pros

Work-life balance, company culture, local business model (no traveling unless desired), focus on giving back to the local community through volunteering and pro-bono work. There is no "up or out" model - you are encouraged to grow your depth and breadth of skills, but you won't get pushed out if you just want to be a "consultant" rather than climb the ladder.

Cons

Compensation varies by market (of course) but in this location, doesn't seem to have caught up to average market rates. Benefits are improving year-by-year, but could be better. There are a LOT of work-related committees and events, both during and after business hours. To really stand out consistently, and get ahead, it seems as though you need to be involved in multiple internal efforts and show up to most of the events. This is fine for extroverts, people who enjoy being extremely active, or those without families, but for others, it's difficult to find the time and energy. You won't get pushed out if you don't engage in the "extracurriculars" at the highest level, but you'll likely find that your comp doesn't advance as quickly as those that do.
