Pros

Very easy to get hired

Cons

Cultish, juvenile, clique, feels like you're in high school and having to drink out of a keg anytime.

This is John Tobin. Perhaps you wrote this a little bit ago, but obviously in 2020, people are not really going into the office. I'll pass along to the SF leadership team - there is definitely a team in SF which likes to celebrate each other and Slalom. I'd be happy to talk to you further regarding your specific circumstances, simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk.

Pros

I've never worked with anyone at Slalom and thought to myself, I never want to work with that person again - Slalom attracts good people. I can't say the same for past consulting firms and agencies I've worked for. I also believe that my leadership is some of the best that I've ever worked for and I am constantly challenged by the people around me.

Cons

Consulting is consulting - if you don't like, Slalom isn't going to change that for you. You're going to have tough clients, there's going to be politics, and you're going to have to work long hours sometimes. Personally, I don't think this is a con - I chose consulting, but I think some people come to Slalom thinking that it's going to be different, and while culturally it is, the work is still the same, and clients are still the same. This becomes a con when people's expectations are met, so set your expectations accordingly.

Pros

Good culture, polite people, but very conflict avoidant

Cons

See above - avoiding conflict is a big issue. Penny wise and pound foolish

This is John Tobin. I think we continue to work on this especially in providing genuine and real feedback for our consultants. Our career framework work we are doing should also help in setting better expectations across all levels in consulting. It looks like you are in the Global Services area (vs. consulting) and next year, the career framework will be leveraged for our more internal roles, so this can be further emphasized. In the short-term, I would encourage you to talk directly to your people manager about what you are seeing or talk directly to the CFO, who I am sure would be open to the feedback.
