Pros

Great culture to promote junior talent (less than 5 years of industry experience), and gets quick promotions and keep morale high for these employees. Leaders 13+ years of industry experience joining at Director or above level will have lot of fun as they get to fool around with junior and mid senior folks.

Cons

Anyone who joins at Consultant level for mid-senior (7 to 13 years of experience) the opportunities and work will suck unless you join director or above positions. Compensation is peanuts and no travel is a gimmick, when you end up travelling tri state (NJ, NY , LI and CT), real long commutes with no night stay option. I would rather travel couple of days long distance every week like Deloitte and big 4 are offering than local long commute. Company spies on you to understand if you are job hunting specially when you are in middle of your projects, these are market research companies or unknown recruiters /agencies and even some big 4 recruiters. so be careful if you get contacted by recruiters , this could very well be orchestrated interview by slalom itself!

This is John Tobin. I'm sorry your experience was not that great for you at Slalom. As to the orchestrated recruiting calls, I have never heard anything like that before and I intend to investigate that with the NY and recruiting teams in general. We are generally lauded for our recruiting team and capability, so I will look to resolve this if this did occur. Of course Slalom is not for everyone and we need to keep people here on the merit of the great things we do with our clients and for our people. If you have more specifics you want to share, simply email me at johnt@slalom.com

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
