Pros

Employee owned firm that is full of passionate, high character employees who truly represent the highest performing consultants at their craft. The culture Slalom fosters is incredibly unique. With a focus on a core set of values, our people lead by example and with humility with a sincere effort to make a positive impact with our clients and our communities. Finally - there is a great balance of making sure we are a sound, successful business that also makes sure we do not take ourselves too seriously - plenty of fun and great options such as our company paid retreats, sabbaticals, high energy quarterly meetings and social events.

Cons

The firm is experiencing a high level of growth - growing 35% annually for the last 10 years. Slalom is not perfect and as we grow, we continue to need to make sure our growth does not take away the intimate people first culture here. But - when things are bending a bit - it feels like we continue to get re-grounded into our principles. Also - this is a great place for someone who enjoys the turns of a great journey - vs being in a predictable box.

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
