Pros

Slalom definitely invests in their employees and the culture reflects that. Majority of the employees are passionate about the company and enjoy being apart of the community. Work / life balance is great compared to life on the road working for one of the bigger firms.

Cons

Business consulting is still developing and changing and therefore there is not enough real business consulting / business strategy work to go around. Unfortunately the majority of business consultants are working as BAs or PMs and just augment the technical consulting engagements.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
