Business outlook
Pros
Great atmosphere and culture (read that as super friendly coworkers with many social events) with key leadership that really inspires. If you enjoy consulting, but hate the Mon~Thurs travel, Slalom has a great local model that seems to work.
Cons
Client work: unless you have cutting-edge skill-sets, your work will most likely be of the staff-aug variety. Career progression: slalom worked hard to develop a "career development framework", but it seemed to obfuscate career progressions more than streamline potential leaders to management. Definitely a who-you-know kind of environment where playing nice with the in-crowd gets you quick rewards. Compensation: average comp with minimal bonuses
