Pros

- The 'appearance of culture' make those of us that are out at clients feel good about the culture. We experience this culture during our annual employee retreat which is a really nice perk. - If you like your client that’s good because you’ll be there as long as the client will keep you.

Cons

- I don't trust leadership in Dallas. Especially after hearing rumors of multiple high level executive departures, then confirming those rumors then seeing 5 reviews that give 5 stars all around the same time these departures were happening and being kept secret. Feels like management is padding the Glassdoor reviews while trying to hide the fact that Executive leadership is leaving. - Culture is only felt by those in the office, I relate to the culture and client that I'm stuck at and have no hope to get out of. - There is a small group of people that get the good projects and others are bounced around the remaining accounts.

This is John Tobin. There are two leaders from the Dallas office that decided to leave Slalom - this is true. Some of the things I know the Dallas office is striving for is to go after more strategic, project-based work. This team is already rebounding. I encourage you to talk to your leaders about what is happening AND/OR feel free to call me and I'll give you the straight scoop. Simply set up a meeting with me by emailing 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
