Pros

The people are kind and smart

Cons

They stretch their staff way too thin and don't give support or don't have the talent needed to effectively support a client and the team. I work 14-hour days regularly to make up for the lack of support. Absolutely no work-life balance. The Slalom DC office is struggling and it shows . They try to do too much with less and it's negatively impacting their staff. For a company that says it puts people first, they totally neglect their staff's well-being for the sake of trying to squeeze profit. It's no wonder so much leadership has left in the last year.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
