      Pros

      Used to be incredible culture -- company would invest into its employees learning and growing. Local -- you will see your family in the evening. Growing and expanding world-wide. John Tobin advocates for a "generational" firm -- and it used to be that it did allow for someone to be on the bench for a long time (think of several months), but they started doing layoffs recently -- compromised a lot of the promised culture...

      Cons

      Recent push to being billable as king -- ruins the culture and makes it very Big 4 like. Almost non-existent sick days/PTO. Many projects are staff augmentation -- which hurts the company's top talent which gets bored and leaves. Some very poor top leadership managers -- and unfortunately no mechanism in place to have checks and balances to get them out.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It sound like some things about the Slalom model are really working for you and have worked for you well in the past. It's too bad that your experience has shifted recently. Your advice regarding the benefits and the types of projects being delivered will be passed on to leadership as will your feedback around manager selection and John Tobin's "360" feedback system. If you have additional feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com at any time. Thanks again for posting.

      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
