Great place to work

Pros

The culture and the people are amazing, smart and great to get along with. The projects are meaningful for both consultant and the client.

Cons

Sometimes consultants can be placed on a project in the suburbs which can result in long commutes if they live in the city.

Talented Consultants and a Great Culture

Pros

Talented and profession consultants. The culture is warm, inviting, and inclusive. The perks like quarterly and annual off-site meetings are substantial. The client base looks strong and growing. People managers seem to truly care about your professional growth.

Cons

Project assignments and scheduling are a challenge like it is at most consulting firms. The progression and requirements for promotion are not well understood like at many consulting firms.

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.
