Pros

Culture and people are top notch. People truly want to do the right things for the company and its clients.

Cons

Strategically confused. Slalom does not appear to know what it wants to be. Stay the course and differentiate from the competition by doing great consulting, or grow too aggressively and overextend people to the point they cannot deliver as promised.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for the feedback. I am mindful that people are concerned with our rapid growth and agree we need to not overextend people where we do not come through for either our clients or our people. If you have specific information you are comfortable sharing, I would love to learn your experiences in the spirit of continuous improvement. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com and we can figure out a way to connect. If you would rather submit more specific feedback anonymously you can email feedback@slalom.com. 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
