Slalom consultants...you're supposed to have a great culture. From your perspective, what makes it stand out?

I can email our president and hear back from him by end of day. There is no up or out policy, explicit or implicit. There is no forced ranking for reviews. People are shockingly friendly and helpful; you can call anybody in the company and ask for help and there's a very good chance they'll stop what they're doing and help you. Every office has a beer fridge, kegerator, and shuffleboard table (think Silicon Valley but consulting). There's a healthy irreverence in the culture. The company is growing extremely quickly, but holding on to its core values. We are employee owned and thus there are fewer decisions made to simply satisfy the street or partners' bank accounts. We don't offshore, ever. We do have "Delivery Centers" for things like technology development that allow us to bring very high quality solutions to market that justify increased cost to the client. No unwanted travel, ever. The ability to travel if you want to. Nobody is fresh out of college, and almost everyone has prior consulting experience.

I'd say the approachability of management, genuine interest in everyone as individuals, and a shared belief that work should be fun.

Everything S3 said. And I'd add a huge part of why we're able to maintain that "healthy irreverence" is that we know who we are and what our culture is. You could probably drop any five of us in a room, and we'd get along.

Wow. SC1--that is the first snarky comment. I was just saying on another thread that Slalom is always nice and helpful in answering questions.

SC1 this has nothing to do with Deloitte. Genuinely curious about what makes Slalom stand out.

Don't generalize people folks. In addition to sc2s comments ive told higher ups, in a professional manner, that their project approach was wrong and they listened

S4, you're absolutely right. I've been to 5 Slalom office. It's like meeting old friends for the first time.

Great perspectives, I appreciate it

OP, there's a lot of former D at Slalom...

I had an interview for an senior mgmt role at a bank and the interview was going very well. Beginning of the interview, she mentioned my resume was very impressive. She also said I was extremely intelligent and that I had a bright future; however they’re interviewing people with over 26 years of experience and would want someone more seasoned. I’m feeling super discouraged. Why bother with my resume at all?

Is there any advice for networking into projects when you don’t know many people at the firm yet? I always to help on BD work when I’m on the bench, but it never turns into any billable work. Every time I have talked to a partner/senior manager I was told I don’t have the skill set they’re looking for, but I don’t know how to build up from there. Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.
