Pros

I have been with Slalom for about a month and a half, so keep that in mind. I have not gone through a full year where I see how the year end review process works, etc. I will make sure to update this review when the time comes. However, I am very happy so far. I came from a Big 4 firm and the environment is totally different. Everyone is very friendly, there isn't the backstabbing that you see at big firms, and the environment is very entrepreneurial.

Cons

Major con would be the lack of infrastructure around policies, learning, development, etc. However, that is to be expected with a small firm and the Dallas office is currently working on building out an infrastrucutre in the Business Consulting organization, which is a great positive! Benefits aren't quite as good as Big 4 firms and time off is only 3 total weeks of PTO. Since it's all lumped into one (which I like because I don't get sick often), it would be nice to have an additional week.

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
