      Inclusion and Diversity and feedback.

      Pros

      Slalom has extremely smart people that do very innovative things. They afford individuals who want to work closer to home the ability to do so. Some executives go out there way to ensure you thrive and are successful. They give you to take whatever training will enhance your career and increase your professional development.

      Cons

      ***Disclaimer - These cons are specific to the location I was hired into and does not represent Slalom as a whole firm*** - While there is one global brand being pushed externally. Internally each location handles internal processes and procedures under the guidance of the GM and his local leadership team. So there is no streamlining of process across the locations in certain areas and categories. - Their strategy when it comes to project scope and definition is below industry standards. Most of their projects start off very scrappy but the finished product is something to crave about. - Career coaching and continuous feedback is severely lacking. - Aligning resources to the right projects does not happen often - While inclusion and diversity continue to be a mainstream topic in Corporate America, it is severely lacking at all levels and all groups. - The benefits are subpar compared to their peers in the Consulting industry. - The project onboarding experience needs a lot of work. - Internal trainings need to be developed better and presented by qualified resources who have that experience and expertise. - Each location still has a startup mentality, so the expectation for things being in place when you join is misleading.

      This is John Tobin. I think this is good feedback regarding continuous feedback at the client engagement level. It's something that we are including in our broader Delivery Excellence program. I'd be happy to talk to you more about what you experienced if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak.

      Pros

      Lots of energy and can do attitudes. Exposure to other functionalities you would be normally sequestered from in Industry experience.

      Cons

      If you are new to Management Consulting, you may get measured or have your hands slapped for things that are considered minutia in Industry. Industry focuses on bottom line results. In industry, being able to be technical savvy and or deliver results on the fly is mandatory. In management consulting, you are measured on how your eye contact may be with the Client or knowing how to use their proprietary software [Non Microsoft]. I am still figuring it out. Seems a little more sales like than technical.

      This is John Tobin. This is great feedback and I think as we have hired more people either outside of consulting or new to consulting, we need to continue to hear these messages. If you want to share more specifics, I would love to hear about them - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk.

      Pros

      Lovely people, inspirational quarterlies, work life balance

      Cons

      - A lot of optics. - Quite a bit of staff aug work. - I've seen fellow consultants forced into projects they didn't want because of questionable people managers. - Limited scope for growth and career advancement.

      This is John Tobin. SF in particular is working on driving more strategic work at a number of their legacy accounts, so can see where you may find you get in a rut of individual contributor roles - again, they are really trying to change this. If you want to share more live on the diversity comment, I think that would be very beneficial - email me at johnt@slalom.com to share more about this.
