Pros

- Great place if you are a bro and you have brought all your friends in - I left because there weren't any pros for me

Cons

- Your experience varies wildly based on which local office you work for and homogeneous hiring is so bad that people aren't actually qualified to do the w9rk at the role level they are in - No actual COO so operations are a mess and it is nearly impossible to get real work done in the 'local first' model - While they have diversified the C suite, they don't actually make decisons; Brad and his boys do. - When asked to address issues for minority groups at Slalom, they are ignored and some discriminatory practices doubled down 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
