Pros

People are genuinely kind and helpful, at all levels. There is genuine pride in the company's values (also our Achilles heel)

Cons

Leaders (especially GMs and MDs) are not up to the performance standards of any of the top 5-6 recognized consulting firms, no matter what you hear, and regardless of how many times the leaders say it. Slalom's biggest challenge is we are stuck in a legacy mindset of staff aug. We got rich off that strategy until it "expired" in 2020 (likely before). While the intention might be there, we have failed to stay relevant and offer substantive value to clients. We lack the talent and won't - or cannot afford the $$ - to offload the layer of leaders who need to move on.

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
