Pros

People are nice, the work is descent and can't beat the local model

Cons

I was told a lot of things while I was being recruited and so far nothing has come to fruition. I was told there is no budget for training but when I asked to go to a conference that I have attended for years I was told I can only go if a client goes. But people in other cities are able to go. Its a learning opportunity and I specifically asked while being recruited if I would be able to go and I was told yes. This is just one example, but so far, they have dropped the ball on all the things they told me to sell me on Slalom and make the jump. I'm 50% regretful of my decision and that's never happened before.

This is John Tobin. I would agree that if we told you this during the recruiting process, then we should follow through on this - it's our first core value: Do the Right Thing, Always. Further - you are right that often, in our company employees in great standing are allowed to follow through on whatever training / learning goal they have, given the right business justification. I would be happy to talk and work with your leadership team to understand the situation Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set something up.

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
