      Pros

      Good pay, fantastic & knowledgeable colleagues, lots of opportunities to succeed since there are many different clients and projects

      Cons

      Unreasonable expectations of employees, lack of willingness to invest in the business. You are, at a minimum, expected to bill 40 hrs/wk and there will be questions if you aren't consistently reaching that goal. This is in addition to mandatory and important nonbillable stuff, such as new business development, recruiting, etc.

      This is John Tobin. I think consulting can be a challenging career in general and I do believe that we value working at our clients as a major priority for our employees. We also do want / encourage people to continually give back to each other and the company. With all this though, our big differentiator here is that we truly do care about people on a personal level. I really encourage you to get to know your people manager and build a relationship with this person so that they can help guide you in your career and in what is truly important at Slalom. We may push you from time to time, but the hope is that this is really for your good as much as it is good for our clients and our overall company. Feel free to send me an email - johnt@slalom.com to connect with me directly if you want to talk through any of this. If you have feedback that you'd like to share anonymously, please complete this short survey at any time: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey.

      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
