Fiercely (Not) Human - Anonymous employee Slalom Employee Review

People who have been at the company for a while and leadership are quite stuck in their ways and don't want to change. Being a consulting company, you'd think that a variety of voices and opinions would be welcome and wanted, but that was not the case. For how large of a company it is, it is very surprising how often people are making up their own solutions that used to work and are not willing to follow the processes that have been set up to scale the company. Management did not support when the workload and hours were consistently over what the role was supposed to be. They said to reduce hours but did nothing to help adjust or define the scope and workload expectations. Feedback was sparse, and direction and guidance was hard to get, as was support. When management did lean in, the guidance was often times confusing and also conflicted with previously provided information. The tagline of being 'fiercely human' is shared often as something the company values, but unfortunately upper management and leadership do not embody that in the day to day. This was the least caring, most stressful, and most dehumanizing work environment I have experienced due to the management and poor leadership.
