The middle "leadership team" is the problem

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart and experienced people who you can bounce ideas off with

Cons

Unfortunately these smart and experienced people are not in the middle LT "Leadership Team", especially the so called people managers whose job is ensure you are utilized. There's little chance you'll learn from or grow professionally with them. Secondarily, I wish Slalom would just admit it is not too far from a staffing agency. Third, culture talk is really irking. The fraternity culture grates on those who do not want to participate either they can't due to other priorities in their life or they simlly don't want to .

Good culture

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

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
