Pros

Some good people, and there are a few cool projects. Company also knows how to have fun.

Cons

Long bench-time, lack of transparency, low merit increases, "good 'ol boys" club, staff aug work, recruiting team lies to you to get you to join, terrible diversity (especially in leadership positions), low bonus, below standard PTO, worst 401k matching I've ever seen.

This is John Tobin. I'll forward your feedback to the Chicago leadership team and I would just encourage you to be as transparent as possible to your manager and / or other senior leaders including Justin and Tom S. If you would like to talk to me about anything, ping me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a meeting or if you wanted to provide feedback anonymously, simply email feedback@slalom.com.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
