Pros
I can only speak for the project based work at Slalom since I have not been staff aug. - Very interesting work. The clients are top tier companies who put their trust in Slalom because of the intelligence that bubbles out of every consultant at Slalom. - Learning from the best. There is so much to learn here. The employees at Slalom are on top of and mastering new technologies as they come out. Plus there is the thought that the best technology is the technology we are going to use on a project, not just what we're used to. - Good pay - Flat structure allows for input from everyone. Sometimes the new guys have the best ideas. - For people who complain about a lack of career development... Managers are always receptive when it comes to a career or training talk. I see the lack of structure here as a benefit Slalom has. If you're a truely good technologist, you'll be recognized and you'll be rewarded.
Cons
- Eh, PTO? But I think they're doing something about that. - The soda, food, and beer in the office is great, but how about a single cup coffee maker?
