Pros

Lovely people, inspirational quarterlies, work life balance

Cons

- A lot of optics. - Quite a bit of staff aug work. - I've seen fellow consultants forced into projects they didn't want because of questionable people managers. - Limited scope for growth and career advancement.

This is John Tobin. SF in particular is working on driving more strategic work at a number of their legacy accounts, so can see where you may find you get in a rut of individual contributor roles - again, they are really trying to change this. If you want to share more live on the diversity comment, I think that would be very beneficial - email me at johnt@slalom.com to share more about this.

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
