Pros

There are so many pros to working in talent acquisition as a recruiter but here are a few: - At Slalom, Talent Acquisition and HR are separate departments. Slalom makes a huge investment in the talent team, in terms of career development and training. There is a clear career path and also lots of learning and soft-skills training opportunities. - There is a national and global talent acquisition network that you are a part of that you can leverage - There are lots of internal initiatives, with Talent Acquisition or otherwise, that you have the flexibility and opportunity to be a part of in order to enrich your daily job and career - Talent Acquisition employees are true business partners with the hiring managers, who work actively in the community to make strong connections instead of sitting back and waiting for resumes or interviews - Strong focus and outcome-oriented approach to inclusion, diversity, and equity as it relates to recruitment. - Slalom really protects its people, and does not lay off its employees as demonstrated during the pandemic and the economic recession. Really protects and respects their recruiters.

Cons

No major cons. Only thing I would mention is that Slalom is expanding globally and can be a bit slow in adopting an international mindset.

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
