Slalom vs Deloitte for first job out of undergrad?

How’s WLB, pay, culture, growth etc at these two companies compare to one another?

Roles: Associate Consultant vs Analyst (both in Cloud)

The people I’ve met from Slalom have been great but the brand recognition and exit ops still leave something to be desired. If you’re in tech I’d also consider Accenture. Out of curiosity, why is D the only B4 you’re evaluating?

Well I think the Salesforce group has a lot of growing to do, personally. It feels like a completely different rule set than the rest of the org -- very much remote boutique staff aug, lots of juniors to mentor adding extra hours and effort. That leader will figure it out eventually.

I’m not sure why people are so sour about WLB at D, it’s very dependent on you, the boundaries you set and how fast you’re looking to grow…..been here 7 years and would not change that decision….it’s a good place to work, there’s decent respect with clients, there’s some extremely intelligent people around, sure there might be some idiots that didn’t get the right opportunities or didn’t grab them but the firm is too big to fix any of that, they still keep trying……OP go with your gut and what you felt talking to folks on either side, I’d definitely say it’s a solid place to start your career!

I would say D to start! It will set the tone and help you understand the consulting business better

I am in the final steps of the interview process for an in-house position. I mentioned to the recruiter that I had unvested equity I would be leaving on the table. She said the company would take this into account and make me whole. She later asked for proof of the equity in the form of my account statement and balance, which I provided. I have not yet received an offer. Is it typical for companies to ask for this documentation if they don't intend to make the candidate an offer?
