Vantaggi
- Local consulting model = no travel. - The company is still small enough that you get a sense of community, and there are a lot of fun team events and an annual retreat where you can get to know others in the office, including leadership. - Good work/life balance. - Most people are easy to work with and enthusiastic about what they do. - Good place to build your career if you specialize in an area that Slalom has a strong practice around.
Svantaggi
- Lack of transparency in staffing; it's often difficult to decide whether to take a role that's not a good fit when you don't know what else is out there. This is especially true if you're unstaffed or coming available. - A lot of roles fall in the "staff augmentation" category. Can be frustrating for those used to more strategic engagements. - Compensation is slightly below market to average. Not bad but nothing great. - PTO is much lower compared to other Big 4 consulting firms. - Can feel a little too fraternity-ish, especially if you don't live in SF and/or have a family.
