Pros

Smart and experienced people who you can bounce ideas off with

Cons

Unfortunately these smart and experienced people are not in the middle LT "Leadership Team", especially the so called people managers whose job is ensure you are utilized. There's little chance you'll learn from or grow professionally with them. Secondarily, I wish Slalom would just admit it is not too far from a staffing agency. Third, culture talk is really irking. The fraternity culture grates on those who do not want to participate either they can't due to other priorities in their life or they simlly don't want to .

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
