      Pros

      Slalom is 15+ US Offices with a few offices in Europe and Canada. Each office runs as it's own company and is only as good as the leaders in each office. The SF office specifically has a lot of energy. Their Quarterly meetings are a lot of fun and it's enjoyable whenever you go into the office. It's a great place to escape and get off the road which is how the company was founded. If you dive into the Slalom community you will meet some great people and friends. Definitely a plus for someone new to SF.

      Cons

      Unfortunately the high energy / fun environment is camouflage for Slalom paying you below market without any equity options. No matter what they say, you will be doing staff aug work at 1-5 Customer's in SF (Genentech, PG&E, Salesforce, Gap, etc..) The projects will range 4-12 months long and you'll cycle between those clients. There is little opportunity for you to advance internally and you won't come out more valuable to other companies. Advise is to skip the company all together.

      This is John Tobin. I hate lies - I don't feel like we lie and I feel like I hear over and over again from our clients and people that they love the work we are doing. Perhaps you have had a bad run of engagements. I encourage you to set up a time to talk so we can discuss what you are experiencing - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com. Alternatively, if you’d like to share more anonymously, please consider doing so via this survey: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey. Thanks

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
