Pros

Work/life balance is great Nice people, for the most part

Cons

Where to begin. There is zero accountability here and expectations are low. Don't expect to have influence over changing ANYTHING - if I had a dime for every time I've heard "that's the way Slalom is" or "it's likely not going to change" I would be a rich person. The lack of agility, process improvement and leadership is staggering. They claim to be a feedback focused company yet, don't provide feedback unless it's positive - no one knows how to give constructive, actionable feedback - you're supposed to be "nice" which helps no one. If you've been there forever, especially sitting in Seattle, you love it because favoritism rules and you never have to be innovative. New viewpoints are considered threatening despite hiring people with...new viewpoints. Despite being a large company, there is NO COO. There is a lot of bad behavior that is excused away. I chose Slalom for its reviews, however I could not be more disappointed with how it actually is for people that are motivated by challenging work. There just isn't any.

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
