      Leaders Lack Leadership Skill

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The autonomy you are provided to work with your clients is wonderful. You are able to build great relationships and do incredible work with your clients. Those opportunities are provided at many places.

      Cons

      Consultants are promoted to leadership positions without any type of leadership skill set. Leaders are not held accountable to their responsibilities and rarely take action. As a result, consultants aren't held to equal standards or accountability. There is only one criteria that gets you promoted, being friends with a current leader.

      This is John Tobin. I would encourage you to provide this feedback to your Chicago leaders, I would guess there are things you are not seeing in terms of accountability.

      Pros

      Keeping it local and not traveling every week.

      Cons

      They decide your performance based on 1-2 persons at the client side who are the main buyers; and not based on what work you have actually done and the results. The constant need to network with everyone to help you get billable is frustrating! Not a good place for introverts.

      Crowded office, very little area for personal growth

      Management consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great office view in Seattle. The operations and HR team are very supportive and efficient. Overall great hiring experience.

      Cons

      - Meeting room is extremely LIMITED. To make the situation worse, the VP/president's secretary constantly overrides booking calendar and kicks people out for their "important" meetings. When you write nice words on Glassdoor, please take the action to give your people the generosity of space. Just be fair, it it hard for everyone! - absolute no saying on the types of project you are working on.

      This is John Tobin. I'll mention this to our operations group regarding being bumped for rooms. We are expanding quite a bit and adding a new floor too in our Seattle office. Regarding no say on the type of project, please relay this to your people manager in terms of the type of work you want to do and that you don't feel included in the process. If you would like to connect on any of these items, don't hesitate to send me an email to schedule a time to talk - johnt@slalom.com.
