Pros

Shortly after starting I met Paul Schurr, General Manager of the Atlanta Office. He reminded me of Slalom's mission: "To help you reach for and realize your vision." He emphasized that this is not just for clients; it's also for employees. He said (as verbatim as I can recall): "My goal is to ensure that when you leave Slalom--whether that time comes in one year or ten years--you'll be better equipped, skilled, connected, and empowered than when you arrived, so that you when you do go on to the next thing you'll be in a better position to do it, and do well, than if you had worked anywhere else." Talk about investing in your people. In my year at Slalom, I witnessed leaders in all stages of their careers deliver exceptionally for their clients while facilitating the growth of everyone around them. Even the executive team was available for one-on-one conversations. As an analyst (entry level) this blew me away. Slalom goes above and beyond to support your growth as both a professional and an individual. I was especially impressed by their employee resource groups, their commitment to giving back locally, their quick and transparent adaption to Covid, and their response to the Black Lives Matter movement. They don't just talk, they take real action. Slalom demonstrated, in real time, the ideals within talent acquisition, engagement, and culture that drew me to this field. They fully embody their #loveyourfuture motto.

Cons

Slalom has a startup feel, there's a lot of autonomy (this is a pro). They've grown explosively (also a pro). Currently, they're in the midst of adapting their structures to better support the scale they've reached and the scale they aspire to (forward thinking leadership, another pro). This means that a lot of their "how we do things" is evolving. If you want to stand firmly in either a startup vibe or a multinational corporate vibe, Slalom is not the place for you. If you find change exciting and want to play a part, you'll love it.

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
