      Weak & Insecure Leadership Team - Management Consultant Slalom Employee Review

      Pros

      It's like Grad School for Accenture rejects, who could not advance in Accenture's hierarchy. Think about that... do you want to join another Accenture? Consultants overall are not as skilled as advertised. Business Intelligence team is extremely weak, almost unable to staff. We are still unable to staff technical resources on my project, so most consultants are on an island by themselves - taking all the heat from the client. Little to no support from the weak management structure.

      Cons

      Weak & insecure leadership team. Leadership team blames anyone but themselves, so be careful of this type of environment. There is no clear view into pipeline and projects, nor project alignment to skill sets. Management team - I've never worked any place where they are this insecure and closed off. No vacation - any time off is taken from pay (doctor, sick time, family emergencies, etc.). Awful. Relatively low pay considering model. Beware of variable model of pay, as bench time will lead to half pay and/or termination. 4-7% bonuses on average. No pay raises. Do you want to earn $40-50 an hour, have little to no chance at advancement and continually clean up after other weak consultants? My advice - you deserve more than Slalom. Don't believe the hype.

      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
