Pros

Fast growing company Talented people Strong partnerships

Cons

Unconscious bias runs rampant at Slalom. I’ve been here many years and Minority executives will get less praise than their white counterparts. Promotion will be harder for them. but easier to put a minority on a performance plan because “since the beginning they never felt like us” None of this can be shared publicly. Culture is such a strong element at Slalom, people would be shocked and deny any accusation that they treat minorities different than white leaders, especially in liberal office locations. The only way to share what’s happening is anonymously here. Even the President has no interest in hearing about lack of diversity and you definitely should not raise the issue in front of him

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
