Left Accenture 7 years ago and never looked back.
Can you please tell me why?
I would probably go to ACN for the brand. Slalom has a “flat” hierarchy, you’ll be at the same level for years with minimal increases.
As of January 2021, Slalom no longer has a flat organization.
If you end up in Accenture Technology you may experience slow advancement as well
Yes that’s under technology. Ask which career track it is. (Either CDO or C&O)
I’m at a unicorn start up and see more new hires from slalom than Accenture. I think their brand is strengthening.

Slalom has better people. Accenture has more upward mobility

Slalom if you want to avoid travel. They focus on staffing locally. They also are known for a great work/life balance.

Accenture if you're ambitious and aggressive. Slalom if you want to chill and coast.
Slalom 100%. Great company from so many perspectives. The people at Slalom are something unlike any company I've been at. I've been at 6 different companies since I graduated. From Microsoft to boutique consulting and Slalom is perfect for me.
They will help you go in the direction you want to develop. If you want to stay in sales force, great, they'll help you get more certs. if you want to move to D&A, they will help you do that. I feel like they really do want their employees to be happy and want whats best for them....
Cheers.

Maybe Accenture depending on your priorities. Better and/or more recognizable brand may help with exit opps. I also heard that upward advancement at Slalom is slower and less financially rewarding than at Accenture. However, Slalom is likely to have little/no travel and better WLB.

Accenture
Accenture has better benefits. That’s about it. Also the whole travel thing is kinda going out the door. I highly doubt we’re doing mon to Thursday every week anymore.
Slalom! Awesome organization, good & smart people and our SF practice is killin it. I love being part of a “small” organization and all the opportunities that brings.
