      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -The Downtown Seattle office is conveniently accessible for most commuters. -Stocked break rooms (snacks and beer). -Fun work events. -Occasional free lunch.

      Cons

      -Processes and systems are constantly changing due to inefficiencies and constant trouble shooting. -Management are unwilling to consider 'outside of the box' thinking or suggestions with regard to inefficient/manual processes. -Career advancement/promotions are unlikely unless you kiss up to management by taking work home/take on additional projects. -Work-life balance is not promoted, as most supervisors will encourage team to take laptops home and plug-in. -Lack of diversity. I believe HR's definition of diversity is geared at hiring women first and foremost, rather than the inclusion of minorities and folks of the LGBT community. -HR will drag their feet with the hiring process due to delayed responses and are unwilling to negotiate salary upon hiring. -Lack of accountability seems to be a common theme among management and account/sales teams. Much blame and responsibility will fall on analysts and specialists when processes are not running smoothly.

      This is John Tobin. I have not seen an unwillingness to embrace outside the box thinking - especially on our internal processes and tools. We evolve all the time in my mind (but admittedly, since I have been here since the beginning and have seen us grow / evolve so much, perhaps I'm more excited at how much we have evolved). I can tell you as a member of the Inclusion & Diversity steering committee we are way more focused on various inclusive and diverse topics than just gender parity (and that is important too). This being said - I would love to hear from you. I will likely encourage you to talk directly to your people manager, MDs, or GMs, but feel free to reach out to me to connect - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com.

      Terrible, Terrible Leadership! Loyalty more important than competence.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great colleagues Fun company sponsored events Decent nationwide network of support Most have decent work/life balance

      Cons

      Leadership at its worst. Most the leaders can not perform at the level the consultants are expected to yet unchecked egos flourish. Sub-par consultants get rewarded at company meetings for minuscule achievements they are more or less loyalty rewards. Promotions at the company rarely made sense and didn't seem to be based on merit. The most important thing to Senior Management is making sure consultants are billable. There was so much turnover I lost track of who I worked with. The culture of fear and back stabbing is so rampant I am unsure how it could be course corrected. People managers were unqualified to manage people.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Small Office Nice break room Good people . Effort is being made in order to bring benefits into line with that of more established firms

      Cons

      No project pipeline - Work seems to be literally sold today staffed tomorrow . No insight into the projects that are available especially at the national level Weak people managers No real training only training provided is via train the trainer so going to a partner or a established training institute is not supported by management . No personal development - If you are told that you do not have "Executive presence" needed for a promotion there is no program to develop that presence . If you need skills for a particular job you are expected to learn it on the job with little to no support from management Extremely political there is a schism between the "new people" and "the original people" Good people seem to be marking time waiting for an exit

      This is John Tobin. Our Dallas leadership team has already seen this review and they are considering where this feedback might be coming from and perhaps how someone like yourself might not be exposed to all the learning and development we have going on in the company. Considering our strong scores from our employee survey regarding our "People First" approaches, I really hope you raise your hand to your office leadership to provide this feedback. If you would like to talk to me about it, I encourage you to send me an email (johnt@slalom.com) to set up a time to chat. Of course 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.
