      Pros

      The people are so nice! Nearly everyone I met and worked with was just a nice person. This will most likely change as they continue to grow so quickly, but currently, it's just nice people to be around. The work-life balance is also a huge pro; there were times I worked nights and weekends, but I had a lot of flexibility. However, this is not across the board.

      Cons

      Some employees who were constantly forced to work nights and weekends threatened to quit. Management knows this is an issue but also didn't want to stand up for those employees to the client. Disheartening to know that the culture and values only go so far, when they definitely talk it up all the time. My department also had a lot of issues getting work, so there was a lot of downtime. However, unlike other consulting firms, my office didn't have bench projects, so non-client time meant not doing any work. For people who are paid hourly, this is a nightmare.

      This is John Tobin - Thanks for the feedback. I am trying to figure out what "department" you must have worked for where you did not get an exit interview. If you want to follow up with me directly as a form of an exit interview, feel free to call (206) 374-4221 or email me at johnt@slalom.com. Also you could reach out to feedback@slalom.com to provide anonymous feedback. Thanks for your consideration in doing this.

      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
