Pros

Lots of new projects and technologies to work on, not necessarily on one's own domain

Cons

Speedy burn-out due to numerous reviews and pressure to exceed every time. Managers are pressured to perform, this in-turn translates to employees being pressured to work themselves to exhaustion. Slaloms policy is to work the employee out to the max. Every which way. Grow Slalom, Customer Love, Exceed Client Expectations, Reviews, Leadership initiatives, Technology and Practice growth targets. Simply performing at client site is also not enough. It gets overwhelming. I don't think a Senior Consultant can keep a healthy family life with all the targets flying around.

This is John Tobin. I encourage you to talk to your people manager about the stress you are feeling. I can't argue that we strive for continued excellence in all that we do, but I also feel we are empathetic to how our employees are feeling. If you want to share more with me, simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk.

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
