Vantaggi
The company is extremely welcoming and has a great work/life balance. As long as you get your work done there isn't any micromanaging and there is no shame in taking time off. Even when I was on a particularly difficult project everybody on the project team stayed positive and kept a constructive mindset. This was a great breath of fresh air after working for several other consulting firms where people were constantly pointing fingers and looking to assign blame. I would gladly work there again should an opening become available.
Svantaggi
Slalom is undergoing a major restructuring right now, which has the entire company in a state of uncertainty. Layoff plans have been deceptive and have been poorly communicated. Initially they said only a small handful of people would be let go, but then they dropped entire divisions of the company. While I understand things are challenging right now with the current state or the economy, the communication strategy felt very dishonest.
