Pros

Pays well, good people, smart people to work.

Cons

1. If you are technical person don't expect to work in the same technology for more than 6 months. 2. Talks of employee concern is not practised . 3. 401k match is not good 4.pays well but you would be surprised to see the margin , since their billing rates are so high clients mostly prefer to have short term projects with slalom. 5. Lots of training activities but you will never use them in next few years. 6. Pressure to attend all the social activities is high, it may be required for leaders and managers but for consultants its waste of time. 7. Reporting managers are changed very frequently , tough to maintain a relationship with manager . 8.very small client base , so as stated in point 1 growing in same tech is not practically possible. ( makes you feel jacks of all trade but master of none) 9. Project is considered only if margin is 50% , higher rates are scaring clients . 10. People are promoted just because position is vacant instead of skills. 11. Splited sf office into 2 , just to create room for promotions. Causing smaller client base . 12. In lots of projetcs consultants are asked to learn some tech with a week . 13. People with wotk visa have some serious concerns .

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
