Vantaggi
Freedom to explore new technology and get involved in a seemingly endless amount of internal projects. Great support around creativity and exploring new technology and client offerings. Easy to get involved in multiple places of the business. The local market was happy to have people lean into whatever they held an interest in. Extremely people focus, they want you to have a life, they only ask for reasonable time commitments and they support you with everyone in the practice. They see their employees as individuals and they embrace diversity, i never felt like i was a resource to be utilized while working at slalom. Caring, thoughtful leadership, especially in middle management. My two managers over my tenure were exceptional and stuck their neck out for me time and time again. I will always respect and admire this companies commitment to their people and focus on inclusion.
Svantaggi
Some client work became a bit repetitive or not very interesting. Always the chance you get stuck on a long engagement that you don't have a substantial interest in, however you could always keep your sanity with internal work that could fit your interest better. This is more an issue with consulting as a whole and not so much a slalom issue. Benefits are not as great as many other consultancies
