Pros

Pay is great , trips to vamoose (Vancouver)

Cons

Project Pipeline is limiting, there is no opportunity to specialize. Mostly, I feel it's more about the company (Billable employee) less of you as an employee. Senior consultants have liberty to choose projects to work on, but for a general consultant, you're at mercy of project pipeline.

This is John Tobin. I agree that we need more diversity in our leadership positions. We are really working on this through recruiting, promoting our diverse employees who have done well at Slalom (Like our new LA GM), and through empowering our Affinity groups to be active in working their networks - we are making progress, but have a ways to go. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak.

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
