Business Outlook

Pros

- Good salary - Smart people - Great education opportunities, both internal and external - Nice perks - Good culture, helpful people and value continuous learning - They give you good equipment and will pay for tools you need for your job - Monthly one-on-one meetings for career development with your manager

Cons

- They pit different practices against each other and in some cases they sell consultants from a practice based on who has the most influence at the local Slalom office and not which practice is the best fit for the client - They have high consulting rates compared to many similar consulting companies which often means you may not get to work on projects that align with your career development plans - Generalists are highly preferred over specialists and often you will not get enough time to ramp up on a technology that the project will use before the project starts - Scrum is the only agile framework they want to use instead of tweaking/experimenting what will work best for a client - Higher percentage of non-billable employees than I've encountered at other consulting companies. In particular, they have an unusually high number of people involved in the sales process / client relationships - At the local office, they hired so many from Accenture that the culture started shifting towards being more like Accenture than Slalom

Pros

Autonomy, salary, office views, annual retreat

Cons

Misguided Management, Poor Project Scoping, Ghosting Hours, Relentless focus on Utilization Rate, Slimy Sales Practices, Lack of Career Growth Opportunity, Mediocre Benefits (401 K match is terrible, health insurance is sub-par, maternity/parental benefits far behind industry standard, sabbatical program canceled). Unless you're a programmer / engineer, there is little opportunity for you here.

This is John Tobin. I appreciate your work here at Slalom for over 3 years. I will share this review with our Chicago leadership team and I hope that you reach out to the various leaders there about what you are seeing. If you inclined, I would be very happy to have a conversation with you about what you are seeing, this insight would probably be the best way I can effectively coach those leaders.

Leadership fails to execute HR promises- don't waste your time.

Business Outlook

Pros

The delivery teams are genuinely nice and fun to work with. Good internal culture balances the stress of client work.

Cons

It's very difficult to get anywhere once you're in the door here. You're very unlikely to get promoted or more than a 3-7% bonus annually. You will however work your butt off for your awesome delivery teams, put in tons of overtime, learn quite a bit, but ultimately get nowhere. My advice- negotiate your salary higher than you're comfortable with. It's not likely to change for several years.

This is John Tobin. I'm sorry about your experience so far at Slalom. Houston is still a relatively new office for us and there probably have been some inconsistent experiences for some of our folks. If you are interested in having a conversation with me about what you are seeing, I would be very open to it. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com.
