This is John Tobin. Our LA office is doing very well even during this time. We also recently changed our GM, which I think has had a positive impact on the team so far. Perhaps you left before you could see or feel that impact. If you would like to share more, email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk.

Pros

My fellow consultants are all smart and enjoyable people.

Cons

Health and benefits package is meager compared to industry standards. Expected hours are long. Worst of all leadership has a track record of dishonesty.

This is John Tobin. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak. We continue to tweak all our benefits - pretty much each year we address something - yet, I know we still have work to do. I don't understand the track record of dishonesty, so I really hope you connect with me to explain what you have seen.

Pros

Slalom corporate (Seattle, WA) seem to genuinely care and try hard to make it a good culture.

Cons

Sales staff are too enamored with the 'flavor of the day' technology to sell anything else. They can't even seem to sell common peripheral tasks. This office only sells Salesforce and a couple other minor technologies. Projects are typically short and poorly staffed (likely due to sales not being able to sell or understand the whole project) and expected to perform miracles with the minimal time they are given in a project. Project estimation is done without any formal estimation tools but instead, an educated guess done by someone who has never touched the technology. This results in wildly inaccurate project schedules. Consultants are either working day and night to fulfill a crazy schedule or are sitting around pretending to work, lying to customers about what you're doing. It's absolutely unacceptable for your manager to ask you to lie to a customer under and circumstances. Senior management are
