Pros

- Big effort to cherish and maintain a fun, friendly and team culture. - Ability to touch on many innovative things if you are fresh off the school or coming form a boring full-time, long-time job. - Some managers are awesome and know how to get team to work together - Company representation - Trips if you are into it - Office equipment and provisioning - There are many other things to name

Cons

- Lack of transference from higher management. - Bad evaluation of experienced folks which make them leave soon after hiring. - Empty promises from higher management that don't get honored when deadline comes. (If something is promised on an interview, make sure to get it a written form before signing the agreement). - Humbleness is a sort of a value at Slalom, but don't be humble if you don't want to end up outside of close manager-consultants cool people fellowship and work on meaningless staff. If you are a "doer" make sure to gently and constantly brag as well. Otherwise you'll be just a "doer". In other words, know how to play office games. As an experienced professional cannot recommend Slalom to a friend but totally recommend it to a new graduates.

This is John Tobin. I would be happy to talk to you more about what you experienced at Slalom to understand it better. Simply email me at johnt@slalom to set up a time to talk. I completely agree to recognize individual contribution and to be a doer - something I really believe in - so to understand the context of what you experienced would be helpful.

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
