Pros

Usually the compensation is good Casual atmosphere Good perks Keeps you extremely busy Cover travel expenses as long as you don't spend much

Cons

Supervisors would focus on sale whatever the customer wants, regardless whether it's the appropriate solution or not. If something goes wrong, they'd blame you. They will NOT support you and would do everything to keeps the customer paying for as long as they can. The only reason employees do not talk about it is because after a while, you don't care anymore as long as they keep paying you. Also, you're subject to the NDA that HR makes you sign. No wonder why they don't have many honest reviews.

Pros

- Incredibly intelligent and kind people - Awesome network of resources around the nation - People-focused (for the most part, not all-inclusive) - If you're a 29-45 year old consultant, this is the place for you. Great people, but the vast majority of the office falls into that age group. If you're coming straight out of college, I personally would've potentially preferred a different firm.

Cons

- Leadership loves and welcomes the word diversity but the only diversity I've observed them pursue until recently is gender parity. As a person of color, I didn't feel they completely had my interests at heart until there was pressure from the world. - Talked about during the interview process and confirmed within 2 months of starting, I brought up work travel, asking if there were opportunities. They said I could if that was what I desired. To that, I said I want to travel as close to 100% as possible. It's been over a year since I started and I haven't gotten an opportunity to travel for projects. - Earlier in the interview process, I asked if I would be acting in an individual contributor on projects. I'm a growing professional who wants to learn from the intelligent people at Slalom. They said I wouldn't be alone. The last two projects I've been assigned to, I've either been the only Slalom employee at the client or the only Slalom resource on the project. - Slalom told me I would receive a promotion in 6-12 months if I delivered after I started. About 9 months in, I took the initiative to play a role on a project two promotions above my current position. I delivered well, the client trusted me from the beginning of the project, and we worked well together. Thirteen months later, even after delivering exceptionally, I'm still promotion-less with a promotion date that stands as TBD.

This is John Tobin. I would love a chance to talk to you further about some of these items. Of course, I would always encourage you to talk to your GM on these items too. It is COVID. No one is really traveling. And frankly at Slalom, as you know, we have a no unwanted travel policy. Most people in local markets, do not travel. If you wanted to travel here, there are groups within Slalom where that is likely (like RDT), but it might be a little tougher to get in some of those teams earlier in your career. Anyway, I would very much welcome the dialog. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk.

Pros

They are generous in many ways and stingy in others. Their PTO policy is an example of stingy while on the generous side they will pay for you and your partner to go to an annual weekend company retreat. Overall though, more generous than stingy.

Cons

They are immature in the realm of Agile and agile adoption. The other areas of the business I can't really comment as that is not so much my expertise and from where I stood it looked like they are doing a good job. But at agile - meh. They have a long ways to go to catch up to their competitors in the field.

This is John Tobin. This is pretty inconsistent with what I have seen especially in the Agile space, so I'd be happy to talk to you more about what you experienced if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak - I would really appreciate the more detailed feedback.
