Can you negotiate PTO or even unpaid time off at Slalom Consulting? Love the idea of great WLB and great people! I would love for more than 17 days though.

You can usually get unpaid time off as needed. It helps to be in good standing. You also gain additional PTO with tenure; ask your recruiter about it.

PTO is almost always non-negotiable at medium+ size companies. It’s too messy to handle each employee differently.

Thank you all so much for the help!

I’m up to 24 days this year, plus the floating holiday makes 25.

I haven't heard of anyone getting additional PTO. Overall the benefits are not the most competitive (401K, medical cost, PTO) but the WLB is good as long as you are aligned to solid leaders and not in a startup market.

Do you know if different markets have different mindsets toward extra unpaid time off?

You can negotiate salary, but not benefits - we just don't manage vacation on a case by case basis.

I requested 2 months of unpaid leave a good 10 months in advance and was approved, no questions asked. They’re super reasonable about it provided you give enough of a heads up!

You can go to about -40 hours pto before anyone generally says anything to you

I also tried and was told a firm no.

You get 17 days PTO plus a floating holiday and for every year you are with the company you get an extra day of PTO. I know a couple people who took unpaid time off with no issues - one person who started in early December, project fell through, didn’t want to sit on the bench with no PTO built up through the holidays so took 3 weeks unpaid until January. Second person took a 6 week leave of absence to travel. I also know one person who took more time off after having a baby as unpaid leave. I can’t imagine issues with a couple unpaid days here and there either if that’s all you’re looking for to boost your time off

Cannot have your cake and eat it too

I tried to negotiate more PTO when I joined but got nowhere. Admittedly didn’t push that hard

Does your PTO rollover

Up to 160 hours roll over every year, but also you stop accruing once you hit 170 so it's hard to end up with more than that

Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)
