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...

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
