Feel free to ask any questions.

Like others have said, our culture, career growth opportunities, and even work life balance are starting to slide.

I'd say culture and average project is still better than big 4. Work life balance is still a good bit better.

Career opportunities are worse.

I'd recommend coming over if you get an offer with similar pay and you're in a place in life where you want to coast.

If you want to keep moving up the ladder it's hard to recommend coming over.

I think slalom would be good for parents of young children. Good parental leave and just work here for a few years until they go to school.

Or we'd be good for people 35+ who've hit a manager+ title and are fine with their comp + inflation raises for the rest of their lives

Good insights overall. Appreciate it. I have an interview tomorrow so will return with any specific follow-up questions!

Historically the advantages were 1) getting off the road, and 2) generally good culture. But 1 is less appealing now that most Big 4 folks aren’t traveling weekly anymore, and 2 is less valid now post private equity and reorg. Read the Glassdoor reviews. It seems to be sliding downhill fast.

Pros - regional, Cons - regional

Pro for me would be west coast decision makers since it’s based in Seattle. Mid-size firms are great for work life balance too

EYrs are to speak. Much of our job is becoming satff augmentation like Accenture

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5
