      Leaders Lack Leadership Skill - Consultant Slalom Employee Review

      Pros

      The autonomy you are provided to work with your clients is wonderful. You are able to build great relationships and do incredible work with your clients. Those opportunities are provided at many places.

      Cons

      Consultants are promoted to leadership positions without any type of leadership skill set. Leaders are not held accountable to their responsibilities and rarely take action. As a result, consultants aren't held to equal standards or accountability. There is only one criteria that gets you promoted, being friends with a current leader.

      This is John Tobin. I would encourage you to provide this feedback to your Chicago leaders, I would guess there are things you are not seeing in terms of accountability. That said, I would really like to talk to you and hear what you are seeing. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk. Alternatively, if you’d like to share more feedback anonymously, please consider doing so via this survey: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey.

      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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
