Pros

Slalom attracted me with its definition of being ‘thinkers, makers and doers’ and after 12 months in, I could not be happier with my choice of moving from a XL traditional consulting house. Life is different at Slalom. We are encouraged to think a lot more, to really understand the question before jumping to solutions. Selling becomes almost a ‘by-product’ of having interesting conversations with clients, instead of the sole reason the meeting was booked in the first place. Clients love that, and in return we sell more. If it sounds simple, is because it is - great people working together, without the politics or silos of the big-4, doing interesting work and building a career they want.

Cons

Slalom has only recently (last 3 years) started its expansion outside the US. It’s a great journey and the company needs to get better at servicing its new offices outside America. It can be a little frustrating at times having to go back to Seattle for things like legal discussions.

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
