Pros

Always smile. Do what is right mostly. Client focus. Strong Alliances. Smart consultants. Work and Life balance.

Cons

During challenging times the focus is on Me @ Slalom which is the internal framework instead of We @ Slalom. People focus on taking care of self or people they hired or have loyalty too. Each market focus on itself with little collaboration with other markets. Age can seem to becoming a factor. There is little to no consideration for impact made to organization over a long period of time. 1 year or 15 seems to make little difference. It's more what have u done for me lately. Little time is taken by GMs to leverage people experience and find ways to connect dots out of market. There are inner circles difficult to widen or participate in causing staffing to be more based on relationships vs best fit based on abilities, skills and experience.

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
