***Disclaimer - These cons are specific to the location I was hired into and does not represent Slalom as a whole firm***
- While there is one global brand being pushed externally. Internally each location handles internal processes and procedures under the guidance of the GM and his local leadership team. So there is no streamlining of process across the locations in certain areas and categories.
- Their strategy when it comes to project scope and definition is below industry standards. Most of their projects start off very scrappy but the finished product is something to crave about.
- Career coaching and continuous feedback is severely lacking.
- Aligning resources to the right projects does not happen often
- While inclusion and diversity continue to be a mainstream topic in Corporate America, it is severely lacking at all levels and all groups.
- The benefits are subpar compared to their peers in the Consulting industry.
- The project onboarding experience needs a lot of work.
- Internal trainings need to be developed better and presented by qualified resources who have that experience and expertise.
- Each location still has a startup mentality, so the expectation for things being in place when you join is misleading.
