I personally got really bored, really quickly. They do a ton of staff augmentation work (which is one of the ways they sustain a local model) and the teams I worked with delivered very mediocre work that they thought was high quality. Most of the individuals didn't have any real consulting experience before Slalom (recruiting told me exactly the opposite), which made client interactions very challenging. People do indeed sign off at 5 PM, pat themselves on the back, and leave the client site while fires are burning all around them, though. Wasn't a good fit for me, but I understand every office is different. I spent less than 6 months there.

It’s identical to the first round just with different people...and no

@OP Slalom does indeed give signing bonuses. I recieved one when I joined, but I've since returned to the D.

@D1 - why did you return to D?

@D1...same question

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth. My first switch took me to 9LPA from 6LPA and now the second switch is being offered for 11.5LPA where I can see my fellow friends in SAP having more than 15LPA at the same experience on their second switch itself. Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.
