Pros

- Smart, cool people - Fast growth Trajectory - A list clients like Salesforce, McKesson, Gap, Apple, PG&E, Escada, Athleta, Stuart Weitzman, Genentech and more - Work/Life balance

Cons

- Really terrible PTO - basically you can;t get sick or you won;t get vacation - Some senior leaders lack experience in the "real world" and have only ever done consulting. This can lead to poor management of the actual company, particularly in forecasting, resource management and marketing.

Good people, struggling to find their niche in Southern California

Pros

The corporate culture is very employee-eccentric and they diligently tried to be one of the best places to work.

Cons

In the Southern California market, the company struggled to find the service offerings to produce consistent revenues. High turnover and some executive friction prevented the company from replicating its success in other markets.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for the review and your 3 years working at Slalom. Southern California has been an interesting ride for us and I can appreciate the consistency comment. I feel as we begin to have separate teams focused on OC and LA and as we leverage our National team better in So Cal, we are seeing some of that consistency. I'm proud of the team for working through the challenges and as we are consistently above a $25M revenue run rate in Southern California, I think we have turned the corner. If you have more specific feedback, I would love to hear it - send me an email at johnt@slalom.com.

Pros

The company is doing a lot of great things, great culture & community if you choose to get involved, positive future with quick expansion, and has good "intention" to do right by their people and clients.

Cons

* PTO is limited (sub par to consulting industry 18 days vs. 25+ days) * No stock options (RSU or ESPP) * Bonus is below industry (between 5-10%) * Below industry standard for 401K match about 50% less than standard * Base pay is average but if considering the entire package, then it's below industry standard * Starting to hire lots of junior and non-consulting people, which makes it hard for team lead to deliver to clients on a consulting standard * Not trying hard enough to keep the good people to stay * Senior management sometimes will do/say anything to sell a project and staff their projects including some misleading or (not specified) expectations or take into account what the team members want * There's an impression of mis-trust between management and everyone else for reason listed above
