Pros

Lots of really talented engineers from a diverse background make it a fun place to be. Very strong technical leadership who I trust to lead the practice. I really enjoy the variety of technical work we do and there are always new opportunities to try new languages/frameworks/etc.

Cons

I really don't have any cons personally I enjoy working here.

Pros

-Get to work with super nice considerate people that I still get keep in touch with -Some travel -Improving on what hardware engineers can use. I was originally forced to use this giant brick with crazy bad resolution.

Cons

Often I felt like I wasn't respected for the value I was giving to the company. I had to fight tooth and nail to get a better monitor and laptop while non engineers seemed to all have macbooks. I was put on projects time and time again with companies that wanted us to just keep the lights on. When I complained about the type of work, the standard response was that I needed to improve my attitude and that good engineers and consultants find ways to score even in the darkest of environments. I might of been ok for a while if was getting paid anywhere near the avg software engineers salary. When you get billed at 150+ dollars and hour and only make 30, it feels pretty bad to hear "There just isn't money in the budget" during salary negotiations. When I left I doubled my salary. Slalom seems to care more about tracking what everyone is doing and how long its taking them to do it, then delivering good solutions for its clients.
