Pros

-Brand name (in tech) is strong, which is good for your resume -There are good people there, even in leadership, who are trying to do the right thing -Fairly low pressure and good work-life balance

Cons

All I can say is- I never realized what 'corporate gaslighting' was until I left Slalom and began to realize how unhappy I had been there. -Typical issues in consulting: Pay and comp is low, and leaders are often dishonest about rates/will put you in roles that are a bad fit just to hit their targets -Many of the leaders I worked with were (1) not as knowledgeable in our field as I expected and (2) displayed behavioral characteristics and encouraged unethical practices (such as billing clients for time you did not spend doing work for them). -"Human" branding is all a façade, it was actually creepy to see how manipulative and disingenuous some of their upper leaders were during my time there.

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
