Pros

Fun gatherings (pre-covid), friendly people, fun office. Great place to work if you are a project manager/BA/Change Manager. Employees generally treated very well.

Cons

Uneven treatment between differing groups within the office. Has gotten more and more political. Finger-pointing when things go wrong (preferred group(s) can do no wrong). Company seems most concerned about its social reputation/profile above all else - hiring quality suffers.

Pros

Intelligent coworkers. Many interesting and modern projects to work on, where you can develop hard and soft skills across multiple industries. You are an important and critical resource on every project you are on. Strong local focus so you are a part of the community you work in. No outsourcing or offshoring of work, so quality is consistent with no time zone issues. All certifications are paid for, regardless of pass or fail. Focus on doing the best we can for our clients. Positive working environment and culture. Introduced 401K matching within the last 2 years.

Cons

Primary focus is utilization (total billable hours divided by total working hours per year) as a measure of consultant performance and practice success. Negligible investment in consultant office equipment besides a laptop and a phone allowance. Employment roles and career paths are limited to consulting, sales, or practice administration. Recent benefits plan changes are confusing and hard to navigate.

Pros

It's hard to put into words just how much Slalom has changed my life. I was burnt out and probably suffering from a little PTSD after 3 years in a Big 4 consulting environment. Slalom has been a breath of fresh air - from a work life balance standpoint, but also in terms of how colleagues treat each other. At Slalom I feel valued as a human being. Im encouraged to pursue hobbies and interests outside of work, and colleagues are invested in my success in all facets of life. When I first joined, Slalom was a way point for exiting consulting. Now it's the place I want to spend the remainder of my career.

Cons

As the firm grows, I'd love to see management continue to improve benefits. PTO and 401K match increases would certainly be appreciated. That said, I feel like Slalom is pretty close to the industry average in this regard.
