If you’ve worked with Slalom consultants before what is the vibe you got? Advice on working with them/their culture? I’m having an awful experience managing one right now. Super nice person but work quality is horrible. Doesn’t do tasks without prodding and multiple reminders, quality is bad, straight up not doing their work sometimes with bad excuses and a smooth talker. I used to respect slalom and wanted to work for them. Is this normal or a one off? Is there a missing cultural link??

You cannot generalize a massive company based on your experience with one person. That being said, they generally are not known to attract the best and brightest and most people go there for better WLB and a chiller lifestyle.

Of course, but i can try to understand if maybe their behavior is reflective of the company’s culture that I need to better understand. The guy seems smart and knows his stuff. It’s just getting him to actually do the work. It’s taken me a while to discern what is laziness vs not understanding vs potentially a cultural difference, hence the question

Which market?

I found slalom to be more like an industry tech workers. They get stuff done but they don’t go to the levels of detail a lot of consulting firms do. In general they have always got the work done so I’d say this is just a guy who is probably on his way out.

Hm. Yea level of detail and attention is not what I’m used to seeing

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
