Pros

HR is very good at deceiving potential candidates about the types of projects they will work on. WFH and not too much travel (Client specific policy, not slaloms). You will be billable, just not on anything interesting or learn anything.

Cons

No 401K, Average PTO, Staff Aug, Stuck with projects that Big 4 doesn't want.

This is John Tobin. Seems like your stint at Slalom was pretty short - we match 50% on 401K (of your first 6%) and our PTO improves as your tenor here increases. Also - considering we go up against the Big4 and many other larger consulting companies often, I would not categorize this as work they do not want. That said, your experience must not have been great, so best of luck with your next gig.

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
