      Slalom is the best place I have ever worked!

      Pros

      Where to start - there are so many amazing things about this company! 1) the leadership team - both our local and corporate leaders are top notch. They really care about the employees and want to help us succeed in whatever our individual career goals are - key word being individual - we don't have the up and out model here so all of our employees can really take ownership over our own careers. 2) culture - we have a supporting, inclusive culture at Slalom. We value work life balance, and not just for families, but for all of our employees to pursue their passions both at work and outside of work. 3) core values - we truly live our core values! It isn't just something we talk about, we live them every day. 4) opportunities to get involved - similar to being able to have ownership over our own careers, we can also get as involved in Slalom as we want! There are many clubs and groups, social events, meetings, etc. so our consultants can come together outside of work. On the same note, there isn't pressure to do more. It is 100% up to you!

      Cons

      It is hard to think of many! See "advice to management" for a couple of areas for opportunity to improve.

      Meaningful Consulting Work

      Pros

      In over a decade in the consulting industry, the work I've been doing since joining slalom last year has been the most interesting and meaningful client work in my career

      Cons

      The slalom business model requires a local market to start up and grow organically around the clients and industries prevalent in that market. With this model, there are start up pains and growing pains that every market must go through. This is probably the root cause of some of the negative opinions of the consulting work on Glassdoor. Slalom markets must achieve a maturity level that supports better projects, better clients, better opportunities for growth and promotion within the market.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's wonderful that your time with Slalom has comprised the most interesting and meaningful client work of your career. You're absolutely right about the Slalom model; it requires markets to grow their own client base. Your feedback regarding not changing the above-mentioned model will be passed along to leadership. If you have any additional feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com. Again, thank you for leaving a review.

      Not built for the long term

      Pros

      Culture and people are top notch. People truly want to do the right things for the company and its clients.

      Cons

      Strategically confused. Slalom does not appear to know what it wants to be. Stay the course and differentiate from the competition by doing great consulting, or grow too aggressively and overextend people to the point they cannot deliver as promised.

      This is John Tobin. Thanks for the feedback. I am mindful that people are concerned with our rapid growth and agree we need to not overextend people where we do not come through for either our clients or our people. If you have specific information you are comfortable sharing, I would love to learn your experiences in the spirit of continuous improvement. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com and we can figure out a way to connect. If you would rather submit more specific feedback anonymously you can email feedback@slalom.com. Thanks
