Pros

Pay, Benefits, La Croix, Starbucks coffee, Clean bathroom

Cons

Slalom's Los Angeles office is a place where pretty people get ahead with knowing the least amount. No knowledge here on how their clients operate. This is an implementation shop, pump and dump...shove Salesforce down the client's throat and then walk away if the client isn't willing to pay millions. Every consultant is pushed to sell, constantly. Many times we were left to just bill and squat at the client's office. A bunch of bodies to do something that should take half the team,at best. Oh, and be ready to feel like you're in a den of tech bros meets college sorority with events meant for extroverts and the "cool kids". This office is high school politics on steroids. Leadership is really clueless on what their clients really need. A complete shell game. If you were a perky fun popular kid in high school and college, you'll do fine here in this smoke and mirrors con job.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
