      Slalom Life: Love your Future

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Slalom has successfully built a model for local consulting which blends many of the efficiencies of a large firm with a small company feel. Every outcome from your actions as a consultant at Slalom can be visibly seen from end to end - very transparent. Leadership is easily approachable and encouraged at any and all levels. Above all else, Slalom says and truly believes in putting its people first. I can approach anyone on or off my team for help and should a personal matter arise, someone is always willing to step up in assistance with clients. Nowhere have I worked with a more supportive group of people. Whether I am meeting another Slalomer in person for the first time at a new client engagement or passing by someone familiar in the hallway, I know I can depend on their support and likewise want them to know that they can depend on me.

      Cons

      You may occasionally be signed to a client which is a bit far from your home but Slalom generally tries to keep peoples drives short/close to home.

      Overall good but need consistency with some of the policies

      Consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a number of great perks working at Slalom. Stocked fridge, unlimited snacks, beer on tap and the constant availability of food and beverages at company functions. They do not do anything on a small scale when it comes to out-of-office activities (holiday parties, team outings) and they are extremely generous with these types of events. Annual outing where you are allowed to bring a significant other for an entire weekend away from the office, with almost all of the expenses paid. The former Chicago GM still sends an email on everyone's birthday or anniversary which pretty impressive considering the number of people that are now work in the Chicago office.

      Cons

      The company grew fast but some of the perks and benefits of this don't seem to have coincided with the growth. The 401K match is still extremely low, the PTO is catching up but the work/life balance model seems to be inconsistent between teams. Some members of leadership restrict or limit the ability for individuals to work remotely when between projects or even when they're on internal projects which isn't what was "sold" as a benefit during the interview and recruitment process. It also seems like that as the company grew, employees were promoted into management positions due to tenure and not because they are qualified or have "people management" skills.

      Great Career Decision

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Entrepreneurial and energetic culture. Very smart colleagues with diverse experiences from Big 4 to mid-size consulting to independents to industry. The flexible alignment to practices give me flexibility to anchor to one skill set while growing in another areas. This has been a great career decision for me.

      Cons

      We're still growing into our success. We're making missteps but learning as we go. Not really a con- just a reality.
