Pros

- Local only consulting option for the Big 4 needing a pause - Family friendly

Cons

Note: Each office is different. - Sr leadership in Atlanta office is comfortable and not going anywhere. Someone has to die to get promoted into that circle or revenues have to increase enough to justify a new MD - Don't be fooled by the warm embrace; the culture is brutal. Reviews focus on 'polish' and other subjective areas to hold back talent because of the crew atop (see above) - Worst kept secret: Slalom bids with its collective capacity and experience across offices but struggles to bring that strength to bear on large projects.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
