Pros

I can't say enough about my experience as a Slalom employee! I came to Slalom jaded and exhausted. It was less about my more than decade of work as a consultant, but more about feeling like a replaceable, overworked widget. I've always loved what I do. I just didn't love where and how I was doing it. I've been a consultant for just over 10 years at a few larger firms. I've had bigger titles, more responsibility and still didn't feel able to contribute the way I am able to at Slalom. There are no egos, no pretense, just great people who want to work hard for our clients. It's an ideal environment if you're looking to make real connections with your colleagues and clients. Coming to Slalom has been restorative for me! I feel like a 21-year-old consultant again! So grateful that I get to be part of this company!

Cons

I keep hearing negatives about the benefits, but they're not far off from other competitors I've worked at. If anything, the maternity leave benefit could be better scaled with other firms.

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
