Pros

Paid well. When business was booming they appeared to care for it's people.

Cons

I think I was hired into Slalom right at the tail end of a major boom for the consulting industry and the company itself. At first the work was flowing and we were aligned with roles and projects that matched our talents and capabilities, so we were setup for success and able to excel. And spending a few weeks on the bench between projects, waiting for the right opportunity to come along was expected and necessary. But as the work dried up the company got desperate. It became what felt like a crime to be between projects, forcing us to take on mismatched roles on projects that didn't align with our experience. Soon everyone seemed to be stuck in roles they had no hope of excelling at. And internal meetings became like therapy sessions for all those suffering from imposter syndrome. Plus the company was pushing AI hard. It was embarrassing sitting through meetings with our leadership trying to sell a weak AI product to customers who understood the field better than we did.

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
