Pros

Most of the employees are nice

Cons

Slalom is the most cliquey company I have ever worked for, hands down. You're either part of the clique, or you're an outcast. Consider participation in optional office events to be mandatory if you want to get promoted. Don't fall for the spiel that Slalom is different than any other consulting firm, other than maybe work-life balance. You will be asked to ghost hours if a project runs afoul -- negatively impacting your bonus -- and your leadership won't have your back. The local operating model can be a career killer if you come to Slalom with previous industry or consulting experience. Don't be surprised when you end up on a project that has nothing to do with your area of expertise -- you are just a warm body and you will be staffed as such.

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
