Pros

- Local model, didn't need more than a Muni pass to get to work, much less a plane ticket. - Great people, every Slaom consultant I worked with at client sites was talented in their field, and highly motivated to do the best work possible. - Work/LIfe Balance, 40 hour weeks are the norm.

Cons

- Business rather than technology driven, as a software engineer it's hard to get excited when technology doens't take the forefront, especially in northern California. - Office culture can be cliquish, there's definitely an "in crowd" that management at lives gives the perception of viewing more favorably. -

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
