      Pros

      Employee owned firm that is full of passionate, high character employees who truly represent the highest performing consultants at their craft. The culture Slalom fosters is incredibly unique. With a focus on a core set of values, our people lead by example and with humility with a sincere effort to make a positive impact with our clients and our communities. Finally - there is a great balance of making sure we are a sound, successful business that also makes sure we do not take ourselves too seriously - plenty of fun and great options such as our company paid retreats, sabbaticals, high energy quarterly meetings and social events.

      Cons

      The firm is experiencing a high level of growth - growing 35% annually for the last 10 years. Slalom is not perfect and as we grow, we continue to need to make sure our growth does not take away the intimate people first culture here. But - when things are bending a bit - it feels like we continue to get re-grounded into our principles. Also - this is a great place for someone who enjoys the turns of a great journey - vs being in a predictable box.

      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.
