Pros
- Work life balance - Lots of virtual hugs - Great place if you appear mediocre and non-threatening to senior managers
Cons
- No career path or opportunities for growth in the lower ranks - SSL encourages those at lower ranks to leave rather than promote them - Poor performers who didn’t meet business development targets were rewarded with restructuring the whole of consulting because they were on the bench!! Surprise surprise when things only got worse… - Ripped apart the only profitable bit of consulting (defence) which made 0 sense - Leaders are uninspiring and emotionally unintelligent - Witnessed a CTO bully a colleague out of the company - Very cliquey with exec leaders sorting themselves out with roles and promotions while telling lower ranks to volunteer for redundancy/ sabbatical/ redeployment because the company isn’t performing - worst company I’ve worked in during my 15 year career - they chant the ‘great place to work’ like we are in some sort of cult - this place kills the ambition and motivation of high performers - only join if you have don’t have a desire to excel or push yourself
