Pros

Positive work environment with good work life balance

Cons

Make sure they have the work you want to do in their pipeline. If not you will be get assignments that don't suit you, don't support your career goals and not have a good method to fix it.

This is John Tobin. I think this is good feedback about sharing mutual expectations upon joining Slalom. I'm hoping you can get a relationship with your people manager and provide that person this specific feedback and have a real conversation about want you want to do and how Slalom can support you getting there. If you want to provide more specific feedback with me, email me at johnt@slalom.com. Thanks

Pros

Great culture to promote junior talent (less than 5 years of industry experience), and gets quick promotions and keep morale high for these employees. Leaders 13+ years of industry experience joining at Director or above level will have lot of fun as they get to fool around with junior and mid senior folks.

Cons

Anyone who joins at Consultant level for mid-senior (7 to 13 years of experience) the opportunities and work will suck unless you join director or above positions. Compensation is peanuts and no travel is a gimmick, when you end up travelling tri state (NJ, NY , LI and CT), real long commutes with no night stay option. I would rather travel couple of days long distance every week like Deloitte and big 4 are offering than local long commute. Company spies on you to understand if you are job hunting specially when you are in middle of your projects, these are market research companies or unknown recruiters /agencies and even some big 4 recruiters. so be careful if you get contacted by recruiters , this could very well be orchestrated interview by slalom itself!

This is John Tobin. I'm sorry your experience was not that great for you at Slalom. As to the orchestrated recruiting calls, I have never heard anything like that before and I intend to investigate that with the NY and recruiting teams in general. We are generally lauded for our recruiting team and capability, so I will look to resolve this if this did occur. Of course Slalom is not for everyone and we need to keep people here on the merit of the great things we do with our clients and for our people. If you have more specifics you want to share, simply email me at johnt@slalom.com
