pros and cons to consider

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, fantastic & knowledgeable colleagues, lots of opportunities to succeed since there are many different clients and projects

Cons

Unreasonable expectations of employees, lack of willingness to invest in the business. You are, at a minimum, expected to bill 40 hrs/wk and there will be questions if you aren't consistently reaching that goal. This is in addition to mandatory and important nonbillable stuff, such as new business development, recruiting, etc.

This is John Tobin. I think consulting can be a challenging career in general and I do believe that we value working at our clients as a major priority for our employees. We also do want / encourage people to continually give back to each other and the company. With all this though, our big differentiator here is that we truly do care about people on a personal level. I really encourage you to get to know your people manager and build a relationship with this person so that they can help guide you in your career and in what is truly important at Slalom. We may push you from time to time, but the hope is that this is really for your good as much as it is good for our clients and our overall company. Feel free to send me an email - johnt@slalom.com to connect with me directly if you want to talk through any of this.
