      If you want a consulting pimp to get you any project, it's a good place.

      Pros

      You get to stay in a local place. So, if you are a burnt out ex-big 4 who is sick of traveling, it's a good place to park yourself for a year or two.

      Cons

      The place is a body shop to push local projects to burnt out ex-big 4 people. So, if you are looking for growth, you are not going to get it. The management response for your development is "it's your responsibility". Good sounding, but in reality this means they will use whatever value you have till you are no longer needed. And any value add skils, you will have to pony up time and money to do so. So, if you are little motivated, then be a self-employed consultant through other outfits. Will be more financially rewarding. Also, if you are not willing to play office politic, then you will be pushed out. This is very political organization.

      Not all that bad does not mean 'good'.

      Pros

      Work life balance does exist to some extent. If you're lucky, you'll get on a project that is right up your alley. Not much travel mostly local.

      Cons

      Benefits are the worst of any company or consultancy I have ever worked at. Salaries are competitive in the middle. They need to consider stronger salaries if the billing rates are rising and they can claim business is growing. Reward the people laying the foundation. The org chart is very flat. The opportunities for promotions or to show ANY future employer that you had career growth here will be difficult. Many in sr. mgmt. are recruited from outside, and are highly experienced but moderately talented. These are mostly individuals with lots of experience, but left their previous employers because they could not succeed any further. Slalom doesn't land any 'name' executives or managers from rivals that are truly on their way up. Do not expect to be given a clear indication of where you stand or where you're going within the company. Operations here is similar to pulling strands of spaghetti apart with a chop stick. This place, at it's heart, is staff augmentation, with the consulting company tagline added in. Don't believe the hype that it is one of the best places to work because some organization said so. Slalom markets that to death.
