Great entry level experience, mid career questionable

Pros

slalom _build: As a junior engineer I was able to work on a mix of projects that were small, medium and large which was a wonderful way to give me a good breadth of knowledge. If and when you care about work social events it’s there. All in all, Slalom has great culture. Product development process is very well rounded.

Cons

Once you cross the threshold of genuinely having senior level engineering experience the pros of slalom may not out weigh the cons. It’s very hard to stick around even if you really do like the culture and people. That was probably the hardest thing about leaving was I really appreciated my coworkers but I would have been foolish to pass up a massive salary increase and better benefits across the board. I also wanted to be promoted and despite being told for more than a year that I had already been delivering work at the level above me it was not clear how soon I would be promoted.

This is John Tobin. Our goal is to be a larger, more prominent, global consulting company that also has a great culture and set of values. It's an AND. I often say we are a work in progress and we honestly always have room for improvement. I believe we continue to strive to get better and have had measured improvement over the years in many areas --- "and we still have a ways to go."

Overall positive, generally good amounts of freedom to learn and branch out into new skill sets.

Pros

A lot of flexibility in role and openness with leadership to pursue stretch roles and branch into different tech. Excellent culture if you fit in(I do). Fun outgoing coworkers with diverse skill sets and a strong desire to learn and share. If client work is stale there is always something internal to keep you occupied.

Cons

Client placements can be hit or miss, slalom frequently loses transformative interesting work to larger tech firms resulting in a fair share of staff aug or limited roles, however there are very good placements out of the Chicago office, just not always enough for everyone, you will get stuck on less than desirable placements. The sales culture in upper management is good for the bottom line but at times burns lower level consultants and managers by placing them on what I’d call boring and unremarkable work for long periods of time. Culture can be cliquey and can alienate many who aren’t lucky enough to get in with the larger groups.
