Pros

I can’t really think of any. I used to drink the Koolaid but then leadership showed me their true colors.

Cons

Slalom is full of corporate toxicity. They use the ‘We’re a family’ line to get you to want to invest your extra time and energy into your work. Don’t let them know you have an extracurricular hobby or pastime, they will try to exploit it. Culture is a facade to power hungry leaders who view the people they are supposed to lead as stepping stones to their own personal success. They pay below market rate and your growth is limited. Get ready for pizza parties to celebrate big wins and quarterly parties. I had to ask for my annual 3% increase on pay. I would look elsewhere for work if I were you.

Pros

Kind, well-meaning people, several of whom are also talented

Cons

Shamefully inexperienced leadership that have been bumbling around for years without a clue of how to build or grow a value-based consultancy. Even those who came from consulting have little strategic vision for innovative, high-value services and are stuck in a pattern of thinking that is transactional and staffing-focused. No one has a clue about consultative sales, so the training and mentoring for leaders (from leaders) is trash. Performance does not seem to be managed at the MD/GM levels, otherwise why are so many of them still hanging on while wildly missing their targets? (For years?) Why have a talent pyramid when 3/4 of the people in it have little/no consulting experience and project sizes make it impossible to give them the development experiences to progress? The whole business and talent model is deeply flawed. A wasted opportunity for what could otherwise be a niche player in a very competitive business services climate. They don’t get it.
