Not what was promised

Pros

Experienced and knowledgeable staff to gain skills from.

Cons

Still traveled, unstructured, not agile, operates in silos. Ultimately I was poached from another company to work for Slalom with the promise of amazing benefits and no travel in addition to an agile and collaborative environment. Well, I was commuting 4+ hours a day for my clients, management provided literally no support, client relationships were not properly maintained - the entire experience was a nightmare. Since they didn't manage expectations and relationships, they ultimately threw me and a few coworkers under the bus on a project that did not go well.

Great place for growth

Pros

Awesome people to work with. Office makes you want to come into work. Doesn't have the big firm feel. The projects I've been on have a work life balance

Cons

Paid time off is only 15 days per year. You get a sabbatical after 6000 hrs of work ~3 years. I'd rather have more pto.

Pros

The people at Slalom are hands down the most amazing people I have ever worked with. They are great - fun, social, supportive, kind, courteous, smart, intelligent, and everything in between. I was lucky enough to work on several projects at Slalom during my two years there which introduced me to a wide range of industries, clients, and skill sets. I was grateful that my teams were constantly changing and I had the ability to grow in areas I wasn't familiar with (i.e. strategy consulting) and perfect areas that I was skilled in (technology consulting). I never felt as though I was micro managed, and I appreciated that.

Cons

With any consulting firm, it's hard to feel like "a part of the team" when you're always on client sites. You can feel disconnected from the company as a whole, but Slalom makes an effort to host events consistently. I also wish there were more reviews and touch points with senior leadership. At times you can feel as though your work isn't being noticed, so giving recognition where it's deserved is huge. Also, more PTO!
