Pros

The consultants are amazing people with incredible smarts, drive and creativity.

Cons

Leadership is terrible in DC. They are hierarchical, bureaucratic, and focused on the wrong things. Slalom is a local model and yet they are sourcing clients that would be a 2 hour drive one way for their teams. Slalom is supposed to be a flat organization, not an up and out org like the big 4, but the DC leadership team pressures people to move up and take on more responsibility even if they do not want too. DC leadership doesn't live up to the values or the mission of Slalom.

This is John Tobin. It's probable I met you at some point during your time at Slalom. Please email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to discuss your experiences while at Slalom. Honestly, based on the amazing employee survey scores we had for our DC office, this feedback is very incongruent. Not making excuses - your experiences were yours and we would love to learn from them. If there's more that you'd like to share anonymously please consider doing so via this survey: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
