      No growth for internal employees unless you are a favorite or proficient in sycophancy

      Pros

      Learned tons, expanded network, worked mostly with smart people.

      Cons

      Work-life balance, favoritism, clique culture. In my experience as an internal employee, I witnessed that those who are proficient at stroking the ego of leadership or were chosen as a favorite by leadership are the ones who benefit from career growth. It is not based on skillset, but rather if your manager does not feel threatened by you. Managers I have come across will put their own growth ahead of yours, and you will not be allowed to grow before they do. Advice to prospective internal employees - if you have growth aspirations, especially interest in consulting, make sure your manager has googly eyes for you within the first year. If you do not see this in a short amount of time, you will not be allowed to reach your goals.

      This is John Tobin. I have said for many years of my professional life is I try to hire people that are smarter than me and allow them every opportunity to grow. We talk a lot about being vulnerable at Slalom and I would hope that our employees could be very open and provide this type of feedback to the people they report to. I appreciate you calling this out - if you want to share more about your specific experience, feel free to email me at johnt@slalom.com to schedule a time to chat. If you have more feedback that you'd like to share anonymously, please complete this short survey at any time: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey. Thanks.

      Good, if you have no family

      Pros

      Some interesting projects, the culture is very non-big4, and it's very social -- though too much focus on social.

      Cons

      If you don't want a family, no problem. If you're female, and want a family, no problem. But if you're male, and want a family, LOOK ELSEWHERE. They only support women after the birth of a child. Good place if you like wasting money on flashy, loud quarterlies and events. Thanks, but I'd rather have a better bonus, 401K, and other benefits.

      Pros

      Great Team Members, Big Name Clients, Good technology and tools to get the work done, lots of potential, company believes it can be the greatest firm on the globe over time.

      Cons

      Leadership does not know how to manage, more of a staff aug company, no real processes more smoke and mirrors, Promotions come with strings and 80 work weeks, work life balance is preached but not real. Leadership actually cannot deliver projects, but micro manages the results after a project fails due to bad leadership.
