      Pros

      Local consulting model - better work life balance to the employee and lower costs to clients Social events that include your spouse Great marketing - Rated as a "Great Place to Work", attracts good resumes

      Cons

      Leadership is hard to trust - feels manipulative, not genuine or inspiring False advertising - no follow through on recruiting messages Weak client relationships - always on the edge, having to prove the organization Staff augmentation - work is not interesting or rewarding Long commutes - work is local but commutes are unpredictable Many lay offs behind the scenes - usually due to politics but masked as an employee performance issue High turn over - good people tend to quit Very political, cut throat environment Internal rat race - everyone feels insecure and is quick to throw each other under the bus

      This is John Tobin. I plan on sharing this review with the New York leadership team. We have never had a "lay off", but you are right that we do sometimes let people go that are not performing well - these are very few in a given year though typically. If you are up for a conversation to discuss more your experiences, simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk. In addition, if you have feedback that you'd like to share anonymously, please complete this short survey at any time: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey.

      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
