I have interacted with both ZS and Slalom folks at same client. ZS folks have much more credibility in life sciences and are on par with B4/strategy consulting folks there. Slalom is more into tech, more spread out across industries, but I felt they were mostly working in tier 2 projects vs ZS who was working on more critical ones supporting company decisions.
Just based on my experiences of course.
They are completely different firms.... national strategy house vs a local franchise tech consultancy
I thought slalom was good in tech consulting than ZS
I am not sure what OP is looking for though.
ZS is great ONLY if you want to work in Life Sciences. Slalom has more recognition and actually does work in other industries. I’m ex-Big4 so don’t believe the nonsense about people at Slalom “not making the cut.” Almost everyone here used to work at one of the Big4 and left... some because they couldn’t make partner but most because they wanted something different. Slalom is a great place to work and I have zero regrets coming here six years ago.
Heard some horror stories from buddy who works at ZS. Yank you around, ungodly hours, and bad wlb. Been at Slalom 8 years and still enjoying it and growing.
Depends what you are looking for. Slalom provides a pretty awesome experience. What kind of brand are you looking to build?
ZS is on par with Big4 and in some cases the strategy firms. And makes the investments in talent to do that (ex. MBA recruiting program)
Slalom is mostly as a cut rate Accenture for niche tech skills or more general staff aug. (but can vary from office to office)

Great discussion! Please try to stay on topic? B4 is not in scope...
interesting discussion. I enjoy ZS and the work we do. no insight into slalom but the competitor in me will say ZS >
