Pros

Small Office Nice break room Good people . Effort is being made in order to bring benefits into line with that of more established firms

Cons

No project pipeline - Work seems to be literally sold today staffed tomorrow . No insight into the projects that are available especially at the national level Weak people managers No real training only training provided is via train the trainer so going to a partner or a established training institute is not supported by management . No personal development - If you are told that you do not have "Executive presence" needed for a promotion there is no program to develop that presence . If you need skills for a particular job you are expected to learn it on the job with little to no support from management Extremely political there is a schism between the "new people" and "the original people" Good people seem to be marking time waiting for an exit

This is John Tobin. Our Dallas leadership team has already seen this review and they are considering where this feedback might be coming from and perhaps how someone like yourself might not be exposed to all the learning and development we have going on in the company. Considering our strong scores from our employee survey regarding our "People First" approaches, I really hope you raise your hand to your office leadership to provide this feedback. If you would like to talk to me about it, I encourage you to send me an email (johnt@slalom.com) to set up a time to chat. Of course if you have more feedback that you'd like to share anonymously, please complete this short survey at any time: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey. Thanks.

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
