Pros

Pay is good and there is training available if you want it

Cons

Culture has changed a lot in the past 6 months and many people who were around for the past 5 years are leaving due to this. Leadership is driven more by numbers than taking care of their people. Feels like a lot of good people are leaving. "Diversity" is stressed but this means promoting women to leadership positions(about 50% of the office leadership is women and the office as a whole may be 15% women). the old GM moving up hurts the culture as people are not happy with the new culture (money driven vs. people driven)

This is John Tobin. I've talked to the Dallas leadership team about this post. I really do not feel like this is the attitude or perspective that the leadership team has (only numbers driven), but perception and feelings are reality here, so we need to work on how things are being communicated. I have absolutely seen a more focused approach to operating our business stronger in Dallas, and they have not intended to let this change their true view to being a people-first type of organization. I encourage you to talk to the leaders and really judge for yourself - I find them to have a great deal of integrity and I think it would go a long way to getting a true sense of how much they care about people. If you would like to discuss this more with me (or the old GM for that matter), please email me to schedule a time to talk. Also, if you have more feedback that you'd like to share anonymously, please complete this short survey at any time: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey. Thanks.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
