      Pros

      Intentions to have great culture, lots of gatherings after work to maintain continuity, some interesting work depending on the project

      Cons

      Management makes too many decisions in a vacuum that have far-reaching impact. Folks on-the-ground bringing in the coin are at the mercy of the Managing Director overseeing the project. At-a-whim you can be ripped from a project with zero warning. Horrible continuity when there is project turnover which leaves the people left behind at a severe disadvantage. When projects go off-the-rails (happens way too often) the almighty dollar wins in nearly every case. This is not the way to build/maintain a culture and values. Oh, and you can kiss your bonus goodbye unless you are nearly 100% utilized that year-end payout will not be the nice surprise you expect.

      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. I'm very familiar with all our culture initiatives from an overall company perspective (vs. market specific), so would be happy to talk to you about that too. I believe Slalom is focused on hiring the right people and we are looking to maintain a consistent fit for our core values and culture - That said, we are not perfect and I agree we must diligently support the focus on this no matter how big we get.

      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
