good

Pros

good social environment, fun colleagues, opportunity for networking, growing practice, ex-Big 4 colleagues

Cons

limited assignments/projects, mostly IT staff augmentation roles (business analyst, project manager) vs. strategic, longer term projects. not a lot of opportunities for growth or upward mobility; you and most of your colleagues will have the same title ("consultant") even if you have 10+ more years experience. Hard to distinguish yourself across a sea of similar people doing similar work.

Love Your Future

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- People are experienced, fun, curious, and truly want to help clients - Slalom truly tries to respect balance between clients, firm, family, and personal life. This is a challenge like many companies, but Slalom's value of Love Your Future or Build Your Career, Live Your Life can be seen by its people - Local staffing great! - Great place for professionals who enjoy project based work with clients, seeking work life balance, and space to learn, grow, and build a career.

Cons

- Navigating between fast growing start-up mentality and large company with 4,000+ employees has some operational challenges - Salary fair, but benefits ok
