Pros

Initially-when I started at Slalom everything was great...

Cons

I have been with slalom for nearly 8 years and stayed with them mostly because of the project I am on. Over the last year I have gotten a new boss who has harassed me and been very verbally abusive. I was told by my contact who placed me from Slalom that our jobs as consultants is to make sure that the projects run smoothly for our clients. I did that-however the treatment has gotten worse. I have brought this up not only with my Slalom contact but other management from HR. This is not the first issue that I have tried escalating. I had a problem 4 years ago on a project and they did not care to even listen. I'm sorry to say it but this place is over rated. Good reviews have gotten to the company very quickly but the treatment they give is just terrible. My contact at Slalom is absolutely terrible and just a tool. How she got the job she has blows my mind. The verbal abuse I have gotten is not appropriate and I will say their sister companies are no better.

This is John Tobin. I plan on sharing this review with the Seattle leadership team. I would very much like to meet you and understand exactly what you are experiencing. Your mention of a "contact" at Slalom and "their sister companies" has me very confused with what group you are in, not that anyone should ever feel verbally abused. Could you email me at johnt@slalom.com to set something up to discuss.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
