Pros

They have put together a really great team of consultants in the Houston office. The recruiting experience was painless and the offer process pretty quick. Benefits, outside of PTO, seem to be on par with other small consulting firms. The management team really supports community service opportunities. This is important to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Cons

PTO balance is a joke, especially for those folks who come with 20+ years of experience in consulting. It is very difficult to get an idea of what opportunities are out there and need staffing. The sales pipeline and resource needs need to be transparent to the team. Relying on a PAL or CSL to understand your background and availability isn't the greatest feeling.

This is John Tobin. Your feedback regarding the benefits will be passed on to the rest of the exec team, however, I encourage you to stay tuned – we are actively working this topic. I will pass on your feedback to the Houston team regarding visibility of the pipeline and staffing process. There are ways we have improved that through the years in our markets. When in doubt though, I encourage you to reach out to your people manager and build that relationship so they can help you navigate this type of stuff. Feel free to reach out to me to provide any other feedback, johnt@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
