Pros

Slalom is a great place to get started in consulting. The consultants are good people and some of the management folks really do care about the consultants.

Cons

Does not have an option for consulting as a 1099. The management team is always saying to come forward with a good idea that is well founded and we will support your efforts to building a case for a new practice or a new initiative. But what they say and what they do are two completely different things.

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
