Pros

slalom _build: As a junior engineer I was able to work on a mix of projects that were small, medium and large which was a wonderful way to give me a good breadth of knowledge. If and when you care about work social events it’s there. All in all, Slalom has great culture. Product development process is very well rounded.

Cons

Once you cross the threshold of genuinely having senior level engineering experience the pros of slalom may not out weigh the cons. It’s very hard to stick around even if you really do like the culture and people. That was probably the hardest thing about leaving was I really appreciated my coworkers but I would have been foolish to pass up a massive salary increase and better benefits across the board. I also wanted to be promoted and despite being told for more than a year that I had already been delivering work at the level above me it was not clear how soon I would be promoted.

This is John Tobin. Our goal is to be a larger, more prominent, global consulting company that also has a great culture and set of values. It's an AND. I often say we are a work in progress and we honestly always have room for improvement. I believe we continue to strive to get better and have had measured improvement over the years in many areas --- "and we still have a ways to go." Thanks for the feedback - feel free to email me at johnt@slalom.com should you want to share more.

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
