Disappointing

Pros

A great opportunity to get a tour of local companies from the inside. Slalom is very proud of their frat house culture that promotes after hours camaraderie fueled by lots of alcohol. You are guaranteed to run into a Slalom consultant in hottest late night venues in the city. Consultants get rewarded for arranging happy hours. Skipping social events is frowned upon. There is an annual drink-a-thon weekend, which is a ton of fun to go once.

Cons

Project work is mostly staff augmentation. Consultants get harassed if they dare to point out their work is not meaningful or challenging. Any constructive criticism towards the project or company leaders is received negatively. There are no opportunities for advancement or learning. Consultants rarely get stretch roles or opportunities to grow professionally. The management team is cliquey and not transparent in their communication. Odd for a team of people who claim to be organizational effectiveness "experts". Promotions are based on ones ability to become friends with one of the leaders and/or to endure boring assignments without complaints. People who leave or complain are labeled as someone who 'failed to understand consulting.' Work-life balance is hugely dependent on the location of the client. Majority of the clients are in the suburbs and require long commutes.
