Toxic environment hidden by "rah rah" culture - Consultant Slalom Employee Review

- Lack of rigor in hiring led to bringing on underperforming/unstaffable folks who are not given feedback for improvement. This is a disservice to their development as well as to top performing consultants who are expected to pick up slack. - No career progression or promotion path. - Leaders value sales (or relationships) over delivery. Similar to larger consulting firms, impossible projects are sold and consultants are expected to deliver. However, instead of large teams to lean on, there are small teams with little support from the top. - Toxic culture of male misogyny, with disparaging comments about female employees and clients, and escalations ignored or swept under. - Problems in the office are swept under the rug and masked by continued "rah rah" attitude from leadership, particularly when other leaders are present. - Delivery quality seems to be all over the place, with different expectations for different clients, not defining quality based on what we are proud to put out. - Lack of transparency in the way decisions are made.
