Good culture - Consultant Slalom Employee Review

- They pit different practices against each other and in some cases they sell consultants from a practice based on who has the most influence at the local Slalom office and not which practice is the best fit for the client - They have high consulting rates compared to many similar consulting companies which often means you may not get to work on projects that align with your career development plans - Generalists are highly preferred over specialists and often you will not get enough time to ramp up on a technology that the project will use before the project starts - Scrum is the only agile framework they want to use instead of tweaking/experimenting what will work best for a client - Higher percentage of non-billable employees than I've encountered at other consulting companies. In particular, they have an unusually high number of people involved in the sales process / client relationships - At the local office, they hired so many from Accenture that the culture started shifting towards being more like Accenture than Slalom
