Slalom reviews

For a consultant, the calibre of projects leaves much to be desired. Essentially, you end up with the dregs that big consulting firms leave behind—the work that nobody else wants. It’s a struggle to pin down a clear career path, as it’s all dependent on the project at hand. Expect to be doing staff augmentation rather than offering genuine advisory services; most clients have their own solutions mapped out before they even get in touch with Slalom. If you find yourself on the bench for a spell, you’re likely to be shown the door. There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding your role. WHAT CHANGED? The original company had a clear direction and a solid set of core values that gave it a good essence. However, in 2023, they were reminded of the importance of profits.

-leadership is absolutely terrible - be prepared to make the same amount money for 3-5 years without anything but a 1% pay increase and a be bonus structure - you’ll get put on projects that have nothing to do with your skills and won’t increase the skill levels you need to hit your target, however you’ll be fully utilized but it won’t matter because your skills are lacking. - you’ll have to jump through hoops and play the popularity game in order to get ahead - people leaders don’t help in any way, they aren’t out to help you. You can only sell yourself - the small company has become a money hungry corporation that could care less about its people and its clients.
