These guys used to hound me on LinkedIn constantly, but I have a few friends who work or have worked for them. Good company who pays pretty well (from what I know). Adding 300 workers in the next 3 years is not bad at all.

"Our Chicago office has grown steadily since we opened 14 years ago, said Justin Odenbach, General Manager, Slalom Chicago. "With more than 700 employees now – and plans to grow beyond 1,000 in the next three years – we simply outgrew our previous space. Because we have a local business model, our people live and work in the Chicago area, so staying in the city was key. We were thrilled to find a space that met our criteria for location, growth, flexible use, and culture fit right here in the neighborhood we know and love."

Serial Founder Godard Abel Leads $10M Round in Retail Tech Company ThreeKit

Godard Abel, one of Chicago’s top tech entrepreneurs, is backing a startup that helps brands create online 3D product configurations. And he’s staffing it with a host of executives from his previous businesses as the retail tech startup continues to grow.
Abel announced Thursday that he’s leading a $10 million strategic seed investment in ThreeKit, a tech startup that lets brands improve upon the static images on their site by building completely interactive 3D experiences, letting customers better interact with products online. With ThreeKit, brands can integrate augmented reality, 3D product tours, and more directly on their platforms.
The startup was founded five years ago by Ben Houston, a techie who spent 15 years in Hollywood working on special effects for movies like Harry Potter and Avatar. After creating 3D visualization technology for the entertainment industry, Houston realized he could bring similar technology to retail brands’ websites.
...
ThreeKit opened a Chicago office last year, which serves as the company’s official headquarters. The startup has doubled headcount in the last six months, growing to 40 employees. It expects to double its headcount again in the next 6-12 months, according to Joachim Klein, a former Steelbrick executive who now serves as ThreeKit’s COO and president.
