      Pros

      The veterans are wonderful.

      Cons

      Let me break it down: Expectation: Local consulting means less travel Reality: 4 hour commute to some remote suburb with no option to work from home. Expectation: Direct your career to what you want to do Reality: The Chicago market is already quite limited to healthcare and pharma clients. Slalom is not big enough to have the option to pick and choose projects within these industries - they staff people on any project they can sell. Expectation: The firm has a fun culture with lots of employee events. Reality: You can attend events here and there if you’re not tired from your commute or your client work eating up your life. Chances are you won’t even make it to the Chicago office. Don’t buy into the lip service. Question if this company is really taking you where you want to go, or if it’s just an illusion.

      This is John Tobin. Thanks for your review, I'll forward to the Chicago team to review although I admit that sometimes based on where people live, commutes can be tough. Some of our clients will allow remote work and some will not and it sounds like this did not play out in your favor. If you have any other specific experiences you want to share with me, simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk.

      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
