      Pros

      - Majority of people are friendly - A good culture - The snacks are top notch - Work/life balance (but because the work is not challenging at all)

      Cons

      The work is absolutely boring. Majority of the projects revolve around project/program management - so if you really want to dive deep into an industry and try to learn/understand nuances to it, the projects here won't allow it. Forget about any actual "strategy" projects that challenge you. The worst part is I was sold a different bill of goods - projects that are challenging, exciting, and trans-formative. Considering how much I've learned at my previous stops in my professional life, it's sad to say I have learned absolutely nothing of value at Slalom. Even when you try to engage those folks who are considered "experts" in an industry, you quickly realize the expertise is surface level - when you try to go a deeper level, it goes over their heads. Slalom is good at making you feel great upfront when you start, but you will quickly realize meaningful work is hard to come by. Also, don't expect leadership to provide any guidance - they seem pretty clueless on what's going on and always make false assurances.

      This is John Tobin. Our model and type of work continues to evolve as we mature and grow. I encourage you to speak up as to what you are seeing and regarding your specific engagements - Talk openly to your people manager, MDs or GM about this. Also, our cross-market communities are a great way (especially from an Industry-focus perspective to learn).

      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
