Pros

The delivery teams are genuinely nice and fun to work with. Good internal culture balances the stress of client work.

Cons

It's very difficult to get anywhere once you're in the door here. You're very unlikely to get promoted or more than a 3-7% bonus annually. You will however work your butt off for your awesome delivery teams, put in tons of overtime, learn quite a bit, but ultimately get nowhere. My advice- negotiate your salary higher than you're comfortable with. It's not likely to change for several years.

This is John Tobin. I'm sorry about your experience so far at Slalom. Houston is still a relatively new office for us and there probably have been some inconsistent experiences for some of our folks. If you are interested in having a conversation with me about what you are seeing, I would be very open to it. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com.

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
