Pros

Work life balance is good. I’ve really enjoyed the projects and working with the clients, who have been fantastic.

Cons

There’s been a noticeable lack of support from management. There are no structured paths to promotion, and advancement feels more like a popularity contest than performance-based. The lack of professional development makes it hard for employees to grow, and that’s been disappointing. Bonus and raises have been very hard to come in the last several years. While Slalom’s motto encourages being your authentic self, in practice it often feels undefined. The expectations of what ‘authentic’ means seem to shift, and there isn’t clarity around how it applies to individual growth or performance. Greater transparency around what success looks like would help align ‘authenticity’ with tangible outcomes.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
