Pros

I've been with the company 4.5 years and they've grown tremendously. There are plenty of opportunities to advance your career on either a practice area path or with the sales (account team) path. Compensation is more than fair and I'm pleased with how I'm rewarded based on performance for yearly bonus and raises. There is still flexibility and little red tape to try new things, expand your skills and get staffed in a areas that will "stretch" your skillset to grow quickly. Great support for training either internal or external, you just need to make the business case.

Cons

In Atlanta office, there is still a significant percentage of work that is sold as an individual contributor role. This isn't much different from being a contractor and unfortunately some clients view it that way as well. All it takes is a very difficult client in a long-term role to impact a person's morale. Paid vacation has been improved, but it's still nowhere near the big 4. Maternity leave is short term disability and after 1-2 month return, you receive the balance to make you whole for a total of 8 weeks leave. Decent, but we can and should do better for our working moms.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It's wonderful to hear that as the company has grown, some of the aspects you've identified as being big positives have maintained their integrity. I will make sure that leadership at the National level as well as in ATL hears your feedback regarding the leave benefits and being staffed as an individual contributor. Thank you for your feedback and advice. If you have any additional feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@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
