      Weak & Insecure Leadership Team - Management Consultant Slalom Employee Review

      Pros

      It's like Grad School for Accenture rejects, who could not advance in Accenture's hierarchy. Think about that... do you want to join another Accenture? Consultants overall are not as skilled as advertised. Business Intelligence team is extremely weak, almost unable to staff. We are still unable to staff technical resources on my project, so most consultants are on an island by themselves - taking all the heat from the client. Little to no support from the weak management structure.

      Cons

      Weak & insecure leadership team. Leadership team blames anyone but themselves, so be careful of this type of environment. There is no clear view into pipeline and projects, nor project alignment to skill sets. Management team - I've never worked any place where they are this insecure and closed off. No vacation - any time off is taken from pay (doctor, sick time, family emergencies, etc.). Awful. Relatively low pay considering model. Beware of variable model of pay, as bench time will lead to half pay and/or termination. 4-7% bonuses on average. No pay raises. Do you want to earn $40-50 an hour, have little to no chance at advancement and continually clean up after other weak consultants? My advice - you deserve more than Slalom. Don't believe the hype.

      Pros

      •There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

      Cons

      •The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
