It’s good that the firm at least called it Layoffs unlike a lot of other strategy firms. I got laid from a T2 company and I couldn’t even post on LinkedIn.

like

their approach to secure more business is quite slimy, and value to bill ratio is very low. sad for individuals, not for their leadership

I saw they had a 7% layoff in September 2023. Did they have another significant layoff ? I googled but saw nothing.

Hardly a need for any talent acquisition when there’s no hiring.

Not getting hired there last year is now a blessing in disguise it seems. Unfortunate for those let go though. It seems this firm is going through a rough patch.

Heard their Talent Acquisition folks took a deep cut (makes sense given the circumstances but unfortunate news nevertheless - only genuinely positive experiences working with them)

Nearly half of NA recruiters got impacted. So, if you're the candidate currently in talks with Slalom recruiters, know that they might be looking for jobs too.

Definitely impactful. The 40% TA number could mean differing things - by salaries? tenure? headcount? My guess is the latter but from what I’ve seen this isn’t just those that were recently brought on — many who were there 8 -15 years that will also go thru payouts as equity owners. Very sad to see and hope the ship will right itself over time. Market - yes, Over exuberance on expansion, likely.

I almost went to work there. But Part of the reason I’ve stayed at Booz Allen for over a decade there is a good amount of job security,wlb, and culture. Doesn’t hurt that our stock has gone from $30 in 2016 to $147.

Is it a new layoff or the one from September last year?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
