Pros

Slalom has an excellent culture, molded by their set of core values which are a very big deal to them. There is a culture of collaboration and team work at at Slalom which I gather is very unique among consulting groups (this is the only consulting role I have been in). Their preference for experienced hires means the workforce is a bit older (mid 30's average) and less hyper competitive, which some may see as a drawback but I personally enjoy the extremely reasonable work life balance that seems to come with that. At no point during my time at Slalom have I felt anything less than fully supported by a team; that my success was the organization's success and vice versa.

Cons

As so often mentioned before, the benefits are good but not great compared to peer organizations. The 401k match and PTO really stick out as problematic to me. The local model they employ is really great except it creates really inconsistent experiences between markets. I've also seen some really puzzling cost cutting decisions, like a refusal to get enterprise teleconferencing established. Consultants live on the phone; it astounds me that Slalom expects us to use free versions of conference line services - it definitely makes us look cheap to clients. On the whole though, these are small cons compared to the pros.

My experience as IT consultant at Slalom

Pros

Nice culture, very smart co-workers, exposure to some big clients, good salary

Cons

Small consulting co, as long as you are making them money you are surviving - if you are on bench and they can't find you a project - they might cut you off, focus on specific technologies...hire based on experience and not enough opportunities to learn new tech, benefits are not as good. (PTO's/401k etc..)

Best company I've ever worked for

Pros

The leadership really truly cares about its employees. They go above and beyond to make sure that people are successful, welcomed, and treated fairly. Slalom has very strong and real values that its employees also believe in. I have never been at a company with a better culture. People are accepting and friendly. You build real friendships and family while at work. There is room to grow and explore new possibilities. There is always someone pushing for you. They encourage you to learn and try new things. I do not see myself leaving this company any time soon.

Cons

I don't see many cons. More competitive salaries maybe but in my opinion the environment makes up for a slightly lower salary. Of course this depends on the position. Don't think you won't get paid well.
