Slalom reviews

Lack in Depth of Leadership. Most managers are new and have only worked with the company a year. 33% new hires in the past year, equals over expansion and not managing the expansion well. This company was born out of a staffing agency and has emerged to a lower paying "consulting firm" based on a staffing agency model. This is also why the benefits are so poor - low amount of vacation days, poor if not non-existent 401k matching. No upward mobility opportunities. No opportunities to transfer to other locations, due to staffing agency model. Due to bench time and project lifecycles, requires long hours to make it to billable hours performance bonus.

Leadership is hard to trust - feels manipulative, not genuine or inspiring False advertising - no follow through on recruiting messages Weak client relationships - always on the edge, having to prove the organization Staff augmentation - work is not interesting or rewarding Long commutes - work is local but commutes are unpredictable Many lay offs behind the scenes - usually due to politics but masked as an employee performance issue High turn over - good people tend to quit Very political, cut throat environment Internal rat race - everyone feels insecure and is quick to throw each other under the bus
