SLR is not qualified to “make sustainability happen”
Pros
Sometimes you can learn things
Cons
At SLR, the structure of P&Ls based on geography and client type has led to the creation of isolated factions. This arrangement has allowed senior staff to sidestep interactions with junior employees who are early in their careers and are interested in learning other specialties. Allowing this to continue has led to millions of dollars in lost opportunities. Instead of fostering a collaborative team environment, the culture now revolves around "Just for Me" rather than "One Team." After being acquired by Ares, the company's relentless focus on utilization and cost-cutting has fundamentally changed its character. SLR has developed an environment where cliques and bullies operate unchecked, with no consequences for their behavior. This toxic atmosphere is driven by individuals with inflated egos who boast about their industry connections but lack genuine integrity.
