Pros

When I started at Slalom, the culture was most appealing to me. They wanted to do their part in making it feel like home. Compensation was decent as I was able to negotiate for higher pay. I was able to build friendships outside of the company.

Cons

They don’t do a great job of professional career development. They are so many talented individuals at the company, however the ones who get promoted are typically due to politics or “favoritism”. People Leaders aren’t really trained out how to talk to their direct reports on how to make a career action plan to help them accelerate in their career. They also did a poor job of handling their lay-offs, where I knew so many talented people were let go vs there was a team member that barely showed up to work but was still able to kept their job.

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
