Pros

Slalom LA has hosted amazing events pre-COVID but has failed to maintain culture and appreciation for employees in the past year.

Cons

Ultimately this is a sales-driven company with little focus on technical abilities. There is very limited opportunity for mobility here since success is largely based on sales. There is very little time and effort spent on up-leveling existing team members. This was evident during the rollout of their new role hierarchy, which was rushed and sloppily executed.

This is John Tobin. I'm seeing a lot of great things with our LA office and I feel that at Slalom we do honor and point to our Core Values as our North Star.

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
