      Pros

      Company has been growing and external brand is getting stronger year by year. There is a genuine focus on taking care of our consultants so that they enjoy the work they are doing.

      Cons

      There is systemic racism in the company and it's evident by looking at the racial makeup of the senior leadership team. One of the companies ten core values is to celebrate authenticity. But you're far more likely to be promoted if you're white or can effectively 'act white' at all times around other executives so they always feel comfortable. The company will use code words like 'culture fit' when assessing promotions and external hires and hidden behind that is making sure that the status quo isn't changed. The status quo is that 19 out of 20 senior executives is white. To get promoted your accomplishments need to far exceed any white peers and you need spend tremendous energy to make sure all white leaders feel very comfortable with your presence, so avoid any confrontation, even healthy discussions.

      This is John Tobin. If you are an employee, I would encourage you to read our "United for Equality" internal website that spells out our high-level plan towards a commitment of equality at Slalom. While we do have a number of diverse leaders at Slalom, including our President, CPO, CMO, multiple GMs, and VPs, I agree it is not enough and we will continue to work on that. Please email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time for us to review any of our plans or to have further conversation on this topic. Alternatively, 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
