      Pros

      Slalom is 15+ US Offices with a few offices in Europe and Canada. Each office runs as it's own company and is only as good as the leaders in each office. The SF office specifically has a lot of energy. Their Quarterly meetings are a lot of fun and it's enjoyable whenever you go into the office. It's a great place to escape and get off the road which is how the company was founded. If you dive into the Slalom community you will meet some great people and friends. Definitely a plus for someone new to SF.

      Cons

      Unfortunately the high energy / fun environment is camouflage for Slalom paying you below market without any equity options. No matter what they say, you will be doing staff aug work at 1-5 Customer's in SF (Genentech, PG&E, Salesforce, Gap, etc..) The projects will range 4-12 months long and you'll cycle between those clients. There is little opportunity for you to advance internally and you won't come out more valuable to other companies. Advise is to skip the company all together.

      This is John Tobin. I hate lies - I don't feel like we lie and I feel like I hear over and over again from our clients and people that they love the work we are doing. Perhaps you have had a bad run of engagements. I encourage you to set up a time to talk so we can discuss what you are experiencing - 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
