      Pros

      Slalom has hired some good employees that care about doing good work, you don't have to travel if you don't want to.

      Cons

      Too much focus on run rate goals and being "first" to hit targets instead of getting the best people in line for success or implementing the best ideas. Management is *way* to slow in eliminating bad employees. Allowed one to stay on for almost a year even when it was discovered that he was outright lying about business development and expenses. A lot of my ideas that come from experience in building a practice were either dismissed or ignored despite my having a direct line with companies that could bring business to Slalom. Some of the management reverts to big 4 ways despite the "different kind of consulting company" rhetoric. Asked for more responsibility and increased title and was told to just keep doing what I am doing. Never happened.

      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
