      Stop hiring leaders from Accenture predominantly - Senior Consultant Slalom Employee Review

      Pros

      Great firm, entrepreneurial culture and amazing people.

      Cons

      The only real con from my perspective, that has many follow on consequences, is the lack of diversity among leadership. I’m talking about a specific here. Why are 95% plus leaders all ex-Accenture? Particularly at the MD and GM level. You can’t expect someone who’s spent 20+ years at Accenture not to carry over that experience, ingrained traits and perceptions into Slalom. Why aren’t we hiring thought leaders from agencies, industry, other-non Accenture/Big 4 firms into our senior leadership mix?

      This is John Tobin. It's a good point to proactively look at talent that comes from a variety of different backgrounds and experiences. We do mostly like people with consulting backgrounds, but I love people who have both experience as a client and people who bought consulting from within an industry. I will say - having both of these experiences previously at E&Y and then being a buyer at AT&T has definitely always balanced my perspectives. I'll raise this feedback to our recruiters and GMs. If you’d like to share more feedback, please consider doing so here: 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
