Pros

People are generally nice. There are opportunities to learn. There are some interesting projects.

Cons

Work life balance isn't good if you want to try to get promoted. Holiday and PTO benefits are laughable. Promotion process is ridiculous. Pay isn't great vs comparable companies/roles in industry. Leadership is basically nonexistent and solely focused on themselves.

Pros

Historically a 'people-first' company, until recently. Valued their people and worked to create a great, inclusive, creative culture. Lots of training and learning opportunities as well as career growth opportunities. Great support system across the markets, re: resources, advice, mentoring. In regards to client work — Slalom perfected the true client collaboration and partnership. They work with the client on finding solutions together. I had a great experience there for over 10 years, until the most recent re-orgs and layoffs (Q1 2026).

Cons

Recent re-orgs and flattening of the company's capabilities and reporting structure has led to many communication issues across the company (local vs. national) and a new system that puts the onerous on the consultant to find their next project and avoid 'bench time' between projects, now competing with hundreds of other consultants across the US for the same role. The new system is less than a year old and was riddled with issues. These changes, and major communication issues have led to a large increase in attrition compounded by many rounds of layoffs.
