Pros

Great pay, some great people, parties.

Cons

While the company is pretty decent overall, the reviews/ratings are not very accurate. For example, most people who do reviews here were not only "forced/incouraged" to do so, but have also probably worked at the company for less than a year. It can be a cult like environment where you have to drink the cool aid. With out a doubt the worst 401k matching in the industry,...nothing else comes close.

This is John Tobin. One thing I will say is I do not force people to fill out these reviews. I do appreciate the feedback and the pulse it gives me for an overall perspective of people who are or were a part of the company. I can't argue that we evangelize and talk about our culture and core values a lot and all I can say is that it comes from a very genuine place in my heart about how I feel about our company and perhaps the way consulting can be. No doubt our 401K needs work - hope to have news to share on that soon. For other direct feedback, feel free to email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to have a conversation about what you experienced - we are feedback driven and I think that is how you learn and grow. Thanks.

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
