Pros

Most of the employees are nice

Cons

Slalom is the most cliquey company I have ever worked for, hands down. You're either part of the clique, or you're an outcast. Consider participation in optional office events to be mandatory if you want to get promoted. Don't fall for the spiel that Slalom is different than any other consulting firm, other than maybe work-life balance. You will be asked to ghost hours if a project runs afoul -- negatively impacting your bonus -- and your leadership won't have your back. The local operating model can be a career killer if you come to Slalom with previous industry or consulting experience. Don't be surprised when you end up on a project that has nothing to do with your area of expertise -- you are just a warm body and you will be staffed as such.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
