      White Savior attitude of the leadership.

      Pros

      Feel good communications talking about empathy. No travel.

      Cons

      Inclusivity and diversity on the slide deck and townhall meetings but not in practice. If you don't fit in the "white culture", then it is tough to survive. I have seen people of color being pushed out or leaving if they don't fit the bill.

      This is John Tobin. We are definitely doing our part to be a very inclusive organization and also help society try to address social justice and inequality. That said, I can't see what you see or feel. I would very much like to talk to you if you could simply send me an email at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk.

      This is John Tobin. I don't really understand the comment about firing people based upon social / political views - I've never remotely heard of this happening at Slalom. Still, I'd be happy to talk to you more about this if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak.

      Lots of Pros, But Need Improvement on Career Development

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Great recruiters with excellent understanding of how to build culture -Great culture building events and diversity initiatives -Smart, talented, and funny co-workers and collaborative environment

      Cons

      -Promotion and career development process is vague and frustrating. The vast majority of people who manage to receive a promotion will tell you the process was excruciating. Middle managers need training in effectively guiding their direct reports through the promotion process. -I was extremely impressed with our CEO, Executive leaders in Seattle, as well as my local executive team in Denver. However, my particular practice area was led by a PAL that consistently belittled and humiliated her direct reports. Her power hungry, people pleasing, micro-managing behavior created a toxic environment. The only condolence was that the vast majority of consultants on our team felt the same way and we could support each other through her harsh treatment. I want to emphasize that I am referring to one specific PAL, and I do believe that other PALs were very good at people management and well liked by their direct reports.

      This is John Tobin. Thanks for your feedback, which seems generally positive with the exception of the PAL you worked with. I would always encourage our employees to raise this concern up to their MD or GM in their market - this feedback would help. I like what you are saying in terms of getting the feedback from one's direct reports before a promotion - we do this during our leadership development programs, but not specifically when we promote people, so this is a good suggestion. I'd be happy to talk to you more about what you saw during your time here - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak or I would encourage you to reach out to your former GM or RGM.
