      Pros

      This company works on an extreme local model.

      Cons

      Lack in Depth of Leadership. Most managers are new and have only worked with the company a year. 33% new hires in the past year, equals over expansion and not managing the expansion well. This company was born out of a staffing agency and has emerged to a lower paying "consulting firm" based on a staffing agency model. This is also why the benefits are so poor - low amount of vacation days, poor if not non-existent 401k matching. No upward mobility opportunities. No opportunities to transfer to other locations, due to staffing agency model. Due to bench time and project lifecycles, requires long hours to make it to billable hours performance bonus.

      This is John Tobin. I would love to understand what you are seeing especially where you saw most of our managers have been with the company for only a year. When I look at the GM/MD team in the Seattle market specifically, they probably average about 7 years at Slalom, so would love to understand more what you saw. If you are up for a conversation to discuss more your experiences, I would really welcome this - Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com. In addition, 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
