Pros

Culture is amazing, respectful with the best work life balance of any place I have known, with regards to having your weekends. Draft beer, wine and snacks galore with lots of outside office activities. It is a local market consultancy - so local clients and far less to zero out of town travel.

Cons

You are paid less here period. The benefits are sub standard, if you are used to top consultants packages (e.g. Accenture, Deloitte, PWC...) It is a local market consultancy - which in reality is more time on the road driving (more dangerous than flying), no hotel points, no airline points, and honestly less time with the family if you live outside a big city and have long commutes. (vs flying out Monday and back Thursday which gives you Friday from home, caveat is that top consultants do work some weekends) Mobility is limited as you have a GM and he/she is in the top spot, regional opportunities are few, if you are more junior this may not be a problem during your stint, but for senior level team members- prepare to stay in role for the long haul.

This is John Tobin. We hear comments about our overall benefits often and we continue to make improvements. We have not heard as much about poor Healthcare coverage, so I really encourage you to talk to your HRBP about this - or just set up a time with me to talk through this - email me at johnt@slalom.com. Our firm does continue to grow and with growth, more opportunities continue to be created for our most senior folks - so hang in there. I'm happy you love our culture.

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
