Not very organized and not really a consulting company but more like a staffing company. They preach a lot of one team stuff, innovation and core values but they throw them all out the window when they are not billing enough so they are obsessed with staffing people and not really interested in growing the company or providing a career path. The offices operate like independent agencies that all do their own thing...they really push employees to vote their offices as a Best Place to work in local and national publications which they typically get and it is a "nice" atmosphere to work in but not recognized as a real leader in consulting because there is no real internal growth strategy or innovation unless you make it happen for yourself at a client engagement and then Slalom claims it as their own innovation. It is sort of like Leadership does not understand business strategy 101. There is definitely a good ol boy bias as well as it is not a meritocracy but more about who your buddy in Seattle is and who you go out drinking with which determines your career path. They are also very sensitive to criticism or new innovative ideas internally they like to say they do things the "Slalom way" and will nod their head and smile when you try to suggest improvements but at some point they will pull you aside and tell you that you need to just get "on board" which pretty much means your ability to move up is no longer possible because you are not drinking the cool aid. Overall younger less experienced people will be happy at Slalom but more senior, seasoned consulting professionals will be disappointed and only used as bait to lure new clients as there is no real career path
