Slalom reviews

Unfortunately the high energy / fun environment is camouflage for Slalom paying you below market without any equity options. No matter what they say, you will be doing staff aug work at 1-5 Customer's in SF (Genentech, PG&E, Salesforce, Gap, etc..) The projects will range 4-12 months long and you'll cycle between those clients. There is little opportunity for you to advance internally and you won't come out more valuable to other companies. Advise is to skip the company all together.

Project work is mostly staff augmentation. Consultants get harassed if they dare to point out their work is not meaningful or challenging. Any constructive criticism towards the project or company leaders is received negatively. There are no opportunities for advancement or learning. Consultants rarely get stretch roles or opportunities to grow professionally. The management team is cliquey and not transparent in their communication. Odd for a team of people who claim to be organizational effectiveness "experts". Promotions are based on ones ability to become friends with one of the leaders and/or to endure boring assignments without complaints. People who leave or complain are labeled as someone who 'failed to understand consulting.' Work-life balance is hugely dependent on the location of the client. Majority of the clients are in the suburbs and require long commutes.
