Hi all, I wanted to see if any fish in this bowl have some opinions on Slalom. Decent place to work? How’s the culture? Is TC competitive with similar firms?

Yes, decent place to work especially if you're in tech. Good WLB (at least for consulting), generally interesting projects, and a supportive culture.

TC is generally regarded as weaker than other consulting firms. The value prop to the consultant is no travel, fewer hours, and no up-or-out. FWIW, I live in a MHCOL city and have 190k TC as a manager.

Feel free to DM with questions.

Pretty much this. Although I will say it’s feasible to get really great offers, especially with low YOE.
