Please do not overlook my perspective because you feel I am disgruntled. I want to share my excruciating, terrifying experience I had working at Slalom in case some people feel the same way and are feeling alone. Not to be overly dramatic, but I still have PTSD from my time at Slalom, certain things set off severe anxiety.
90% of the people working at Slalom are mean. There is zero room for error and everyone looks down on each other's work. People are constantly criticized except the few elite who are overly coddled and congratulated. Slalom people care more about what university you attended and what your IQ is than who you are as a person and what your character is. Although they claim to be a highly diverse organization, it's completely untrue. If you attend the national sales meeting with over 200 attendees, 95% are white men. Women's work is not equally respected or compensated.
My manager was horrible, so mean and cold. Zero personality. This I point out because it is a symptom of the company. They breed these type of people.
One night I was in Seattle and stepped up to the hotel bar by myself. Three men sitting next to me did not know I was a Slalom employee. They were so rude and disgusting, talking so much crap about their own company.... Slalom. Calling their manager fat and ugly and making derogatory comments to women in the bar, going on and on about how Slalom is the worst place to work bla bla bla. On the other side of me were two people from Microsoft, I looked over to them and they were equally disgusted. I told them I worked for Slalom but these other men at the bar didn't know that. They proceeded to tell me how horrible of a reputation Slalom has for being a terrible place to work and how many clients feel the people are mean and look down on them as stupid.
I could go on, but I think I have made my point. This is not the place for everyone. If you are mean, highly intelligent, and like to put others down, this is the place for you.
