Pros

1) High salary compared to big companies in Portland 2) Telecommunication, home office, and transit perks 3) Great culture (e.g. respect, employee-centric, ID&E) 4) Diversity (e.g. LBGTQ+, multi-cultural) 5) Insurance is very good and they cover most of the premiums 6) Very supportive for work/life balance. Most employees will only be assigned to one client at a time, which prevents burnout. 7) Strong financials for a private company

Cons

1) Only 7 holidays (No Christmas Eve) 2) No 401K matching until 1 year anniversary 3) Wish there is more equipment provided (only one laptop, one monitor). No docking station. 4) Small office - cannot accommodate 150+ employees....only 35 desks. For those who like to be in the office, you will always be working from home.

Pros

Good work life balance. Solid parental leave benefits. Co-workers are great to work with.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities. Too much staff augmentation work. Not many opportunities for stretch roles due to few all Slalom project teams. Very slow salary growth and difficult to get full bonus as a consultant. Not much diversity at senior levels.

Pros

- Kind, friendly people who can become your friends if you want - Great WLB (consistent 40-50 hour weeks) - Top-notch values and vision - Entrepreneurial spirit, no "toe-stepping" territorial attitudes

Cons

- A significant proportion of projects are routine staff augmentation; easy to just feel like a body in a body shop - Exit opportunities in business advisory services feel limited to HR, PMO, and, if you're lucky Customer Success - Kind of feels like you're playing on the B team intellectually - Lower compensation than non-consulting comparable roles
