Pros

-Ok pay -Decent coworkers -Remote

Cons

This company and office has gone downhill big time since I first joined. The new "leadership" they brought in over the last year are such poor "leaders" and do not live up to previous standards set by the company and early leadership. "Leadership" in the Vancouver office plays more games and pettiness than actually leading. Slalom as a company recently laid off 7% of its workforce and completely bumbled its way through it. Trying to get severance out of this company was like pulling teeth. One excuse after another. They did not live up to their lay off promises in multiple ways. Highly recommend staying away from this company as they are not what they once were.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
