Just heard from a recruiter at Slalom Consulting and sounds like a potentially intriguing opportunity. What can you Slalom🐠🐟🐡 tell me about culture, comp, and the role of tech at the firm?

I’ve seen people leave Big4 for Slalom and then have come back. Heard the work at Slalom was more staff aug.

I think all of this REALLY depends not only on office but on area of work and your skills and interests. I joined in the last year and I see that this is a great place to work culture and work life balance wise, and that it’s amazing professionally for people that have good alignment with the strong practices in your local market or who are extremely entrepreneurial/aggressively sales-y and want to try to create a new revenue stream. Personally, I am finding it difficult to find my place (despite being a rock star with top marks for 8+ years at my old firm) because I think my personal skills are just not a great fit to the office. There are other offices I think I would be shining in, but it’s not my geography. I think they are working to find a place for me but it just feels crappy. So I would be really careful about skill match.

I think this is more true at the “leader” levels than the consultant levels.

Depends a lot on the practice you’re in. I focus on healthcare technology, and our world is great - reasonable workloads with interesting work, great people, and flexibility.

Whether slalom is a good fit for you comes down to three things
1. City
2. Group
3. Level

Two other things are certain. Slaloms tech skills are better than better than accentures. And as certain - their people's consulting skills are worse than accentures

The core issue is that slalom does not have a mid tier that mentors new hires. Basically you have senior analyst / entry level consultants pushed 1-2 levels higher than they should be. The more senior people are all in sales like roles and don't have time to mentor the junior people.

It may be a good fit for you if you like being an individual contributor, want to work as few hours as possible or want to bounce to a faang company later on

Don’t think that’s feasible since all recruiting is office based (outside the handful of global roles). Like your interviewers will all be from the office you’re interviewing for. That was my experience during my interviews and while in my offices recruiting team.
