Pros

Who cares if you feel cheated into a job that contradicts all the flashy promises of the job interview.

Cons

By the number of interviews and the impressive corporate pitch you start to believe this is a serous company. Only to find out this is just a new model for staffing agencies. Slalom is not alone in this. Buyers beware.

This is John Tobin. Our DC office is relatively new in the scheme of things at Slalom, yet we are almost 150 people there and this review is inconsistent with what I have heard from our employees and clients there. I'm not discounting that perhaps you had a very different experience and I would love to hear more about those details. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak. Alternatively, if you’d like to share more feedback 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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
