Great place to work, lots of change and new technologies. The working environment is fun, with lots of team building

Pros

Proactive in contributing to personal career development. This means that they let you choose your own career path and provide the infrastructure and support to get you to your goal.

Cons

The pay is less than other positions offer that are in the same field with experience. This is often offset by the great work environment in the Seattle office, with considerable attention given to building culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

Slalom cares about its consultants. This shows in its emphasis on work/life balance, consultant feedback in the annual survey, and actions to take the feedback and implement change. Obviously, compensation, benefits, and perks are important as well, but for me, at the end of the day, what makes me happy is to feel valued and like I'm making a difference. This is what Slalom does well.

Cons

As with any consulting company, the downside of being a consultant is that your job requirements and location change regularly. Slalom is no different here but they do work hard to make you feel as if you are part of a family so at least you have support during the change.

Employee retention could use some attention

Business Outlook

Pros

- Work life balance is good most of the time, but there have been projects that have required me to work weekends in order to meets the client's "deadline" - A lot of happy hour events, which allows you to really get to know your coworkers - Many fun extra-curricular events through the year

Cons

- Salary and overall benefits package is well below average compared to my peers (with the same job title) at other companies - Only two weeks of annual PTO (no sick days) - A lot of people (including myself) seem to just get thrown onto uninteresting projects that we may show marginal interest in - I feel too much like a "yes" man while at work - Too much staff augmentation projects - Generally not challenged enough

This is John Tobin and thanks for the "positive outlook" response and your feedback. Since I live in Seattle, feel free to stop by or schedule time to discuss any of this feedback you have in person. I will share this with the Seattle leadership team especially your desire to be more involved in considering your next engagement.
