      Over Promised and Under Delivered - Anonymous employee Slalom Employee Review

      Pros

      - Air travel not required - Daily commutes will vary based on local models. - Nice people - Everyone I have met is truly a nice and respectful person.

      Cons

      - Staff augmentation - They place people into roles versus sell projects and deploy project teams. All "projects" I have seen have been staffing work. - Lack of transparency regarding type of work during hiring process - That's the nice way of saying they were not forthright with the type of work in the pipeline. - Work does not align with interests or skill sets - Again, they are placing people into slots that a client or another consulting firm needs filled. There is little information regarding how you can align yourself with suitable work. - Employees with highly variable skill sets and levels of competency are all branded as "consultant". This seems to reinforce the staffing model.

      This is John Tobin. I totally agree that we should always be upfront during our recruiting / hiring process. My hope would be that you are sharing your dissatisfaction with the type of work / project you are on with your people manager. Many of our markets have rolled out a "Meaningful Work" indicator which we are using to get a pulse from our consultants on the project they are assigned to. You can also schedule a time with me to further discuss what you are seeing - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com. If you wish to provide feedback anonymously simply go here: 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
