      Pros

      The people are great. The office has plenty of events so you can get involved as much as you want. They recently increased PTO, which has been very welcome. Work/life balance is great and the people genuinely care about you. I really love working here.

      Cons

      I have been the only Slalom resource on several projects I have worked on. You have to be able to work without much support, but there are people there if you ask for it. I haven't worked on many sexy projects, but the people more than make up for that.

      Lost it's soul

      Pros

      Unique corporate culture focused on fun and personal connections in the local office. Good client list. Still able to find decent talent after exhausting most consultants' local networks. National team is still able to visit local offices regularly to stay in touch. Still good at implementing feedback from consultant surveys.

      Cons

      Offices have become rife with in efficiency over the years. Underperforming consultants can fly under the radar and don't get "counseled out" early enough putting pressure on their team and account management to cover for them. ELT is severely dysfunctional and it is apparent throughout the org. SLT have been stripped of most power and doesn't make decisions although they are running the business. CSLs and PALs do 90% of the leadership work but are paid badly, underappreciated and given no career guidance to get to the next level. To get promoted you have to pick the right MD and ride their coattails to the top. Expecting your performance to be decider of promotion is a myth: it is now purely a political game. And if one MD harbors a grudge against a consultant, it will severely impact their growth at the company. Sadly, this company made its mint by hiring big 4 consultants and thinking they would be different because of the local model but they have just become a big 4 firm that focuses on financials before people. The company grew too fast and gave up its soul in the process.

      This is John Tobin. If you would like to provide me more information, simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to discuss - since you were here for over 5 years, I probably know you and would love a conversation.. I will share this post with Atlanta leadership. The last thing I will say is that I still see our culture alive and well across the company - and I believe you can always fight to make sure our core values and culture remain strong. I hope you reach out to me.
