      Consider Yourself Warned - Consultant Slalom Employee Review

      Pros

      - Fairly flexible WFH schedule

      Cons

      - High Turnover - Mostly Staff Augmentation Roles - An alarming amount of leadership does not have Technical or Interpersonal skills - Not interested in selling? You're most likely not going anywhere - The people that do sell don't fully understand the delivery implications of what is being sold. You better get familiar with these people, you will be reporting to them sooner or later. - Leadership that is "afraid to trust anyone". It's an actual quote that was said to me by a practice lead. - Leadership overstep their bounds and try to tell you what to think on political/social issues. Expect to get many emails about how to think about things outside of work - Exaggerations about compensation, bonus % - Very high conformist culture. Not into drinking with your co-workers at least once a month? Better get comfortable with your current title. - Stunting of skills due to the same type of project sold over and over again

      This is John Tobin. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak. You are hitting on a number of items that we continue to address. One specifically is to have opportunities for senior people who are true experts and are delivery-focused vs. sales-related. This is something we are actively addressing. The other in terms of our culture, I feel we continue to put things in place to include many different types of interests, so we need to follow through on this for sure. I'll forward to the Chicago market to emphasize these points. If you’d like to share more feedback anonymously, please consider doing so via this survey: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey.

      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
