Very different quality standards, lots of consultants who have no prior consulting experience (at least half of the client-facing staff I interacted with), and a firm that is mostly Salesforce and AWS projects. (Probably 65-70% revenue here.) I also found a lot of very lazy individuals who had somehow convinced themselves that they were exceptional. I am not exaggerating my experiences.

@op we are heavily tech focused. Our people are good when it comes to the delivery and product knowledge but we can be weak at problem structuring and communication. Especially when we are compared to the big 4.

Its an interesting conundrum - i have always said that of i had 2-3 big 4 people + slalom techies i would crush it wherever I go.

From your side - if you have skills in both areas and you feel like growing a practice then you will crush it here.

That being said - I like the question about asking what is the most frustrating part of slalom.

Or ask them what changes would they expect in the next 12-18 months.

What skills are technologies would they like to move into

Ask them what frustrates them about the organization, particularly if you are interviewing with an ex-big 4 Slalomite. I worked there very briefly. I left quickly and would never recommend the firm to anyone else.

Why do you say that, D1?

Is that specific to this group you think or the entire firm? Also what office were you at where you saw this?
