Love slalom. Great place for WLB. Salary growth and professional development isn’t great. But if you want to work 40 hours and be home every night and use this as a next stop towards an industry exit opp, it’s a good spot.

I’m in our S&O practice. I probably do 50 percent strategy. But not C Suite Strategy. More like strategy lite. 20% PmO. The other 30 probably Ops and biz dev a bit. I left the road and joined slalom. That’s how I got here. Had a friend that worked in another office and loved it.

It’s a great company to work for, after the politics of BCG it’s pretty refreshing. I can also be a present parent in my kids life.

Pretty chill. 40-44 hour weeks, really excellent coworkers. I can’t stress the excellent coworker piece enough - my coworkers have quickly started to become some of my close friends.

Work definitely leans toward staff aug, but I have enjoyed remarkable flexibility. Taking 2 months of unpaid time off next year, no questions asked.

I won’t say Slalom is for everyone, and Slalom definitely isn’t perfect. But Slalom is a good place to be.

Overall, good. Feel free to dm me

Exited after 5 years firmly in a “middle management” role. Worked 45-50 each week so it was decent from a WLB perspective. I realized Slalom is somewhat unique but it is really filled with kool aid drinkers.

I agree with what others have said. It’s not for everyone, but if you know what you are looking for as far as stress/opportunity trade offs, Slalom mostly delivers on the WLB and good culture. On balance, I like it and think it is right for me. If it seems appealing based on what you’ve heard, it’s likely to be a good fit for you.

I have accepted an offer for the role of Director of Data Science & Analytics and I'll be working with old colleagues. I am very excited. I haven't given notice yet because I am waiting for the background check to complete, but my boss just asked me about traveling to a meeting in November. I start at the new job Oct 25.
