Pros

- To Slalom's credit, they really do practice a flexible working structure - Friendly people to work with

Cons

- Overly political management layers - Too many average people in decision making positions - Complete detachment of client value from recognition - Ineffective GTM strategy, costly sales people with zero understanding of the business and service lines, incentivised to bring any project in with little regard for scope or profitability. - For a company preaching agility, complete reluctance to embrace change or adapt. - No regard for training and upskilling juniors, help with career development, or mentoring.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
