Pros

*Great employees to work with *Doesn't have the typical large consultant structure *Has a wide variety of clients to work for *Generally has pretty interesting projects to work on

Cons

*Limited ability for growth into leadership roles and even consultant roles at the company *Cares more about growth than taking care of current consultants *Seems to care more about losing clients than losing good consultants *Trying to be the next Accenture (but don't have same structure to support), which is the opposite of what they pitch during recruiting process (hire more junior resources & more team based projects) *Took away many perks/benefits as they grew *Pushes consultants to give good reviews for best places to work and Glassdoor, so not getting honest feedback for folks reviewing these sites, etc.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for your review. We continue to work on and add on to our overall benefit package including more PTO, 401K improvements, new parent policies, etc. We are not perfect here, but we really have added vs. taken away. For me our people are our business, they make us who we are and I try hard to build as many personal relationships as possible with our employees. So I really do care about losing consultants and it's why we continue to strive to get better. I'd be happy to talk to you live about your experience while here at Slalom, if you want just send me an email to set up a time to talk - johnt@slalom.com. If you have more to share, please complete this short, anonymous survey at any time: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey. Thank you.

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
