      Pros

      You don't have to travel mostly. Most projects are local. If you are put of a non local project, you still get to avoid unwanted travel in most cases. Most people I worked with at Slalom were nice to work with.You do get your share of jerks. If you like networking/work events, Slalom generally has plenty of them. We've had them in places like Disneyland, Knotts Berry farm etc. Those are fun. It feels like the top leadership genuinely cares about having a people centric company. But since each location is kind of run as an independent smaller company, each has its own culture.

      Cons

      You need to be an extrovert to get noticed. Since most of your work is staff aug, your management chain is mostly unaware of your work. I joined Slalom with the assumption (based on what was told by my recruiter and hiring manager) that they do a lot of consulting work, but turned out most of the work was staff aug. For the few consulting projects that Slalom did, there is a lot of overpromise on the timelines and the end product. When the company grows you hire a lot of folks from outside and you'll see the culture changing. For all its faults, I used to like working at Slalom in my initial couple of years. Then our team grew and we had a lot of new leadership who cared more about their growth and the money they can bring. These comments are specific to Orange County/San Diego market.

      This is John Tobin. I'll share with the So Cal leadership as clearly maintaining our culture and core values while we grow is pivotal to who we are and who we want to be. If you would like to connect live to share perhaps where / how you have seen the culture erode (even if just a little), I would be interested in understanding what you saw. Simply send me an email to schedule a time to talk - johnt@slalom.com.

      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
