Upper Management have vision. Middle management has problems. New managers very lacking management experience.
High chance of being placed into roles unrelated to your background at some point in your time at Slalom.
Middle Management downward communication is very poor. I awaited responses to emails for upwards of 6-12 months.
Upper Management advocates that if a project isn't for you for whatever reason (skills, people, etc), you can talk to your people manager about it, but in my experience they ignore you.
The company has prided itself on aiding you take the next step in your career.
I spent so much time assigned to a role that had nothing to do with my expertise/ past experience (in a different practice than mine) that my people manager started telling people I was better suited for it. My P.M. started realizing some of my prior skills after being in management for a year. I felt like I went backwards in my career because I kept waiting on / going back and forth with my People Manager.
Be wary. I think this company is much better if you're on the management consulting side, because they're better connected internally.
Technical Consultants can be put in the back-burner and ignored.
