DEV OPPS: not enough resources, was told money/budget would be allocated to each of us for personal and professional development activities, and then only allocated to certain members of the org before being not offered anymore due to budget cuts, trainings are not built out by the firm or by a training team, but by consultants who are on the bench doing an internal initiative

POLITICAL: staffing depends on who knows who, engagement managers try to staff their favorites on cases, I was pulled off a case (the director specifically said I had no performance issues) and I was asked to train a white male to be staffed in my place to boost his stats, staffing and reviews depends on who likes who, have heard employees brag their ratings will be fine because they are “buddy buddy” with their managers

LACK OF TRANSPARENCY: Firm leadership kept saying everything was fine and the practice was growing, while shoving layoffs under the rug, heard thru the grapevine that employees were being let go; rather than from leadership — decision behind layoffs was unclear

CLIENT WORK - stuck in PMO Projects consistently and lack of dec opportunities, WLB is nonexistent and you work from 4 am to 10 pm, consultants are put on staff aug projects because cap can’t sell for shit, sexy companies are mentioned in the pipeline and no one is staffed on them the company can’t sell

Firm apparently has strong reputation in Europe but haven’t seen anything like that in the US, firm growth is attributed to a series of acquisitions the company keeps on undergoing

If you like getting underpaid and work on unattractive projects at a place with a bad culture, come to Cap :)

What’s your speciality?

OP, I started out in the Salesforce practice and wholeheartedly agree with SC1. Great, talented crew, high camaraderie, and lots of growth opportunities. I can’t speak to the conditions at Cap, but can definitely commend Slalom. I was happy there.

I switched to another practice because I didn’t want to focus on Salesforce, although I could definitely see the appeal for the folks who do want to work on it. A great point being, the Slalom Salesforce practice leaders cared about my career and worked with me to find another home for me. That truly speaks volumes about the practice. It’s remarkable.
