Glorified staff augmentation with a brand to avoid

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- the hours are quite easy compared with a normal consulting firm. employees routinely go home at 5pm and don't work weekends or holidays - probably a good place to slack off for a few years without significant consequences

Cons

- the actual projects are very poor, which is a reflection of the brand. The bulk of the work Slalom sells is staff augmentation / individual contributor project manager roles - the kind of work management consultants in other firms would actively avoid. - the culture of the firm creates a cheerleader like atmosphere, where leadership routinely exaggerates how interesting or impactful the work actually is. - not a proper meritocracy; promotions are as political or more so than in the large consulting firms. - this culture also incents positive attitude over talent. Compared with peers at a competitor such as Accenture, Slalom employees are generally sub-par. - the firm grew up as a technology / data services firm and that remains the only practice area where the firm can actually compete - having Slalom on your CV does you no favors when you return to the job search - despite the emphasis on work / life balance the PTO and family leave policies are horrible. - senior leadership is almost exclusively white men

This is John Tobin. I would really like an opportunity to talk to you while you are an employee at Slalom. I feel like your feedback regarding your experiences at Slalom would be helpful for the NY office to hear. We are actively working on a strategy for the next 5 years of Slalom and an even more targeted plan for the NY office. That said - you need to provide the real and active feedback to your leadership team. I will be in NY on 2/12 should you want to meet and discuss some of what you wrote - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set something up. Alternatively, please consider providing feedback anonymously via this survey: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey.
