Pros: Work-life balance is nice.

Cons: Stagnant learning curve and retirement vibes.

Pros: You learn a great deal, ranging from technical growth to business acumen. A solid company to grow your technical chops, especially if you work with data. Good work-life balance (ymmv depending on your engagement).

Cons: - Slow comp growth - Constant organization changes - Promo criteria that is always fluctuating, and you typically have to already be performing at the next title to even be considered for promotion

Pros: - Slalom is organized and professional and diplomatic in everything they do, including policies, client interactions, and handling crises. - They claim that people are their most important resource, and that actually rings true in a few areas of the company. - If you are an extrovert and like to socialize, this could work for you, and you get invites to one or two company-sponsored events every day. - They have some pretty high-profile clients. - They have embraced AI like they should early and with a lot of resources.

Cons: - Low pay with awful raises. I have been at Slalom for 4 years and I am now making less than when I started when you account for inflation. My salary is about 27% under the national average for my position as well. - I get their attempt at making promotions equality based, but it's a huge roadblock. In order to get promoted, you basically have to go through a lengthy application process and go in front of a board to prove that you should be promoted, which leads to them telling you all the ways you're deficient (which always happens, there's always a plan to "fill gaps"), which leads you to not only working hard for your client, but having to do a bunch of extra curricular (unpaid) work to get certifications etc in order to get a promotion that, by and large, you've already earned by being good at your job. - Heavy on the bureaucracy. I was in the middle of a promotion application and got moved "laterally" to another department. My new position was a senior position that I was told was at the same pay level as my entry level position that I was trying to get promoted out of. So in essence, I worked my butt off for a promotion (see above) and then was skipped over and given a better title. This may not have been their intention, but rules are rules and there wasn't a way for me to fight it. - Introverts are punished for not wanting to engage in high stress social events. A good chunk of your performance reviews relies on you attending social events, or leading initiatives that require you to speak publicly. If you're silo'd on a client and don't really know your peers at Slalom, this can be stressful for no other reason than for Slalom to justify their expenditures into "company culture." - There are a million and one Slalom resources and they're spread out across a lot of different websites. It's nice that the information exists; good luck finding it though.
