How is Slalom different from the Big4?

How is Slalom in terms of TC, work-life-balance, career growth compared to Deloitte and Accenture? I know that Deloitte pays peanuts and has a bad reputation for WLB. I have heard better things about Slalom. Is it possible to gain technical skills in Data analytics through working for Slalom, or is it mostly creating powerpoint slides?!! I am graduting this Spring ... Slalom did not recruit from my university in Chicago. Accenture and Deloitte did.

I spoke to someone from Slalom..she was v happy with the WLB. TC ia decent. Do not know about career growth.

I have a friend at Slalom and they enjoy it. WLB is ok, I know they work very late hours, but it may be partly by choice too. Pay is middle of the road. Not as much constant travel as Iโ€™ve seen from my friend at Accenture.

Chicago I know that the big4 pays 80k in SF for entry level analyst which is not that different from their Chicago office

We use slalom a lot in Chicago โ€” they have a solid WLB and I feel like theyโ€™re more long-term than Deloitte. We also use Deloitte but they are standard 6-12wk SOW. Slalom folks are practically in-house at this point.

Slalom is an exit path for Big4 looking for no travel and better WLB. When I was there, the culture was pretty awesome..pay was just so-so. I think they still struggle with shedding the technology staff aug firm label.
