      No growth for internal employees unless you are a favorite or proficient in sycophancy - Anonymous employee Slalom Employee Review

      Pros

      Learned tons, expanded network, worked mostly with smart people.

      Cons

      Work-life balance, favoritism, clique culture. In my experience as an internal employee, I witnessed that those who are proficient at stroking the ego of leadership or were chosen as a favorite by leadership are the ones who benefit from career growth. It is not based on skillset, but rather if your manager does not feel threatened by you. Managers I have come across will put their own growth ahead of yours, and you will not be allowed to grow before they do. Advice to prospective internal employees - if you have growth aspirations, especially interest in consulting, make sure your manager has googly eyes for you within the first year. If you do not see this in a short amount of time, you will not be allowed to reach your goals.

      This is John Tobin. I have said for many years of my professional life is I try to hire people that are smarter than me and allow them every opportunity to grow. We talk a lot about being vulnerable at Slalom and I would hope that our employees could be very open and provide this type of feedback to the people they report to. I appreciate you calling this out - if you want to share more about your specific experience, feel free to email me at johnt@slalom.com to schedule a time to chat. 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
