Pros

1. Numerous learning opportunities. Slalom does a great job providing training/learning resources. I personally love this the best. 2. Different industry exposure - high learning curves and very helpful for consultants. 3. Problem-solving skills of managers. 4. Smart and helpful coworkers.

Cons

(Mandatory) Quarterly and ALL the social activities are held after work hours. It's extremely inconvenient for working parents who live far away. Not so much for work-life balance.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for you review and your all your hard work at Slalom. We definitely try to put a lot of events out there so people can collaborate, connect and have fun on a regular basis. I would just be pretty honest with your leaders on when you really can and can't make events - I feel people will be understanding. Feel free to ping me directly if you feel differently at johnt@slalom.com or you could always provide anonymous feedback via 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
