Good people leaving Dallas for better culture

Pros

Pay is good and there is training available if you want it

Cons

Culture has changed a lot in the past 6 months and many people who were around for the past 5 years are leaving due to this. Leadership is driven more by numbers than taking care of their people. Feels like a lot of good people are leaving. "Diversity" is stressed but this means promoting women to leadership positions(about 50% of the office leadership is women and the office as a whole may be 15% women). the old GM moving up hurts the culture as people are not happy with the new culture (money driven vs. people driven)

This is John Tobin. I've talked to the Dallas leadership team about this post. I really do not feel like this is the attitude or perspective that the leadership team has (only numbers driven), but perception and feelings are reality here, so we need to work on how things are being communicated. I have absolutely seen a more focused approach to operating our business stronger in Dallas, and they have not intended to let this change their true view to being a people-first type of organization. I encourage you to talk to the leaders and really judge for yourself - I find them to have a great deal of integrity and I think it would go a long way to getting a true sense of how much they care about people. If you would like to discuss this more with me (or the old GM for that matter), please email me to schedule a time to talk. Also, if you have more feedback that you'd like to share anonymously, please complete this short survey at any time: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey. Thanks.

Pros

Good opportunity if you are young and don't have children. You don't have to travel.

Cons

Opportunities are extremely limited.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for your review. I agree that we should always be upfront about career progression for all our employees - it's not a generic path either - it really depends on the individual.

Pros

Slalom has without a doubt been one of the best companies I've worked at. It's the first company where I truly felt like everyone from the top leadership down to the consultants cared about each other and the company. The culture is fantastically inclusive, tremendous diversity (at least in the offices I've been to or worked with, including Dallas, SF, Seattle, Atlanta, and NY), lots of mentoring, training, unlimited training budget, great office (when I get to go there :-), and overall just a great company to work for.

Cons

Like every company, there's a tendency for folks to silo and work more closely within their own practice/area of expertise, but that's something that can be worked on. Some offices have a focus on maximizing billable hours on top of all the internal meetings, training, and travel time which can be a little frustrating. But then again, it's never been strictly enforced but more of a guidance, so not really a big deal.
