      Pros

      Some good people, and there are a few cool projects. Company also knows how to have fun.

      Cons

      Long bench-time, lack of transparency, low merit increases, "good 'ol boys" club, staff aug work, recruiting team lies to you to get you to join, terrible diversity (especially in leadership positions), low bonus, below standard PTO, worst 401k matching I've ever seen.

      This is John Tobin. I'll forward your feedback to the Chicago leadership team and I would just encourage you to be as transparent as possible to your manager and / or other senior leaders including Justin and Tom S. If you would like to talk to me about anything, ping me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a meeting or if you wanted to provide feedback anonymously, simply email feedback@slalom.com.

      talks like a big 4 but run like a staffing franchise

      Pros

      Great place for ex-big 4 consultants who want to get off the road. Strong socializing culture. Recruiting does a great job building up the possibilities.

      Cons

      It's really a body shop run by ex-senior managers who never received leadership training or experience. You are on your own to promote yourself, so sucking up to the MD's is a must to get ahead.

      A Sinking Ship

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The culture used to be a positive, and some areas do seem to have a good work life balance (great work life balance for those on the bench, until you get fired.)

      Cons

      The company is bleeding money trying to stay afloat- how many town halls and emails about the same topic can we have? They leaned in hard to GenAI with leaders that have no knowledge and are wildly unequipped to handle the space and are feeling the repercussions. If you're on the bench for 12 weeks, you are automatically fired- but the company is not selling enough work in any area. Very poor long term outlook for the company. On a personal note, getting tired of being harassed to fill out "Best Places to Work" surveys when I don't feel Slalom is a good place to be. Trying to wait it out to get severance, but everyone I know is looking for new roles.
