Pros

I've been at Slalom Boston for over a year, and it's been fantastic. No regrets, I am still thankful to this day that the amazing recruiters decided to reach out to me! I've been staffed on some good projects, new tech, impressive clients, and challenging tasks. I love being pushed professionally, and even a little personally, and the team in this Boston office delivers. The atmosphere is loaded with "can-do" with a topping of "go for it". Truly entrepreneurial, with a huge push for work/life balance (well deserved awards over and over again). If you have the opportunity to join Slalom in any market, don't be stupid, you have to join.

Cons

Career paths are blurry right now, but if you know what you want, you can get it. Also, internal programs are underway to improve. More top-down communications/transparency at the market level would be ideal, would like clearer definition of vision and goals for the office and my practice.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for your feedback. It's great to see the Boston office continue to grow and mature. I'm glad you see that some of the internal Boston-specific programs are starting to take shape - feel free to reach out to me at (206) 374-4221 if you ever want to provide more feedback regarding career paths at Slalom. Thanks again.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
