      Pros

      Great colleagues, low stress low hours and still a little entrepreneurial. You don’t have to follow a set track here, you’re able to make your own way to some degree

      Cons

      Slalom used to have interesting work where we partnered with our clients. We helped them define their goals, and guided them towards best in class ideas from our experience in the market. That has all changed. Now we basically just ask clients what they want and tell them how many people and weeks it will take to do what their asking. Pushing back and suggesting better approaches doesn’t happen often. And senior leadership have basically become the thought police. Just today the CEO sent an email asking everyone not to use the term “hey guys” because it’s not gender neutral. I doubt the CEO of McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte or Accenture has time to make it appear they are addressing inequality. They’re probably too busy actually doing something about it rather than talking about it.

      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
