Pros

Very few: - You get to work at large well-known tech companies. - You get free food in the office often if you attend dumb company socials and events. That is it!

Cons

Omg! If you are a technical consultant and are looking to grow here, this is NOT the place for you. Career growth is very challenging, a lot of staff augmentation/underwhelming projects, a lot of uncertainty as to what you will end up doing, projects are driven by Slalom’s ability to make $$ on your skillsets as much as they can. If you are into sales or tech management, this may be okay. Don’t believe on those stellar reviews - there is a very strong movement internally for employees to post good reviews based on a false company-depicted image of success in the rankings of one of “best places to work for”. The reality internally is not what it looks like on the outside. Keep it real, save your career from the fall, and seek employment elsewhere!

This is John Tobin. It pains me to say this, but this may be a Silicon Valley specific challenge. For instance, I believe our Build teams love the technical work they are doing. We are also working on a strategy to better extend this to our markets like SV. I'd be happy to talk to you more about what you experienced if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak.

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
