Slalom reviews

Company is dealing with significant turnover after COVID. The supportive culture, which is highlighted as a differentiator in interviews is non existent. Leaders are trying to deal with scale of the business, but are unwilling to prioritize the activities that will get them there. In my time, I've heard the organization compared to a kindergarten. Folks at the manager level and down are hard working, but the politics and manipulation taking place at leadership levels was more than a surprise. You'll see better culture and support at any of the Big Consulting companies, Amazon, or Microsoft.

Slalom started off as a great place and is shiny looking when you interview and the first couple of months in, especially if you started before covid, but once you've been around for a few months you start seeing cracks in this organization and its empty promises. If you are an ambitious, hard working professional trying to grow in your prime years, this is the place your career will go to slow down or die unless you are one of the lucky few to have a people manager who actually cares about your growth over their own, even with their new career growth framework, which is terrible. Most projects are staff aug and if you don't sell work, you will not have any upward momentum no matter how well you perform in client delivery. The leadership team loves to call themselves "leadership" constantly, but don't act like it and the turn over of both leadership and consultants during my time there was over 50% in most practices. While the pay is pretty solid, the bonuses are really small for the criteria you have to meet for a single digit percentage opportunity. Over my tenure at Slalom, I saw the best people leave left and right for better opportunities and that should tell you everything you need to know.
