Probably the most generous company I've ever worked for. This is one of the great perks of working for a company that is privately held and truly cares about it's people. The company culture is fantastic, there are honestly so many people here that I would be friends with outside of work, so the people are amazing. There are always team building events happening which brings the group together (even more important in a consulting firm where everyone is typically spread out at clients).
Cons
There are a few who have been promoted into leadership (CSL, BDE) that have you scratching your head as to why they were put in those positions to begin with. But the other senior leaders are pretty much great people both in LA and OC.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It's great to hear that both your colleagues and the general company culture are resonating with you. Your feedback regarding increasing sales accountability and a few people in leadership roles in your market has been heard by national leadership. Thank you for sharing that. It's also good to hear that the majority of in-market leaders are doing good work. If you have any additional feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com. Thank you.
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
