      Stop hiring leaders from Accenture predominantly - Senior Consultant Slalom Employee Review

      Pros

      Great firm, entrepreneurial culture and amazing people.

      Cons

      The only real con from my perspective, that has many follow on consequences, is the lack of diversity among leadership. I’m talking about a specific here. Why are 95% plus leaders all ex-Accenture? Particularly at the MD and GM level. You can’t expect someone who’s spent 20+ years at Accenture not to carry over that experience, ingrained traits and perceptions into Slalom. Why aren’t we hiring thought leaders from agencies, industry, other-non Accenture/Big 4 firms into our senior leadership mix?

      This is John Tobin. It's a good point to proactively look at talent that comes from a variety of different backgrounds and experiences. We do mostly like people with consulting backgrounds, but I love people who have both experience as a client and people who bought consulting from within an industry. I will say - having both of these experiences previously at E&Y and then being a buyer at AT&T has definitely always balanced my perspectives. I'll raise this feedback to our recruiters and GMs. If you’d like to share more feedback, please consider doing so here: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey. Thanks

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
