Pros

Slalom creates an environment where everyone is driven to do the right things for our clients instead of squeezing every dollar out of a relationship. The work is challenging, fun and impactful and the people you work with are the best and brightest. Without question this is the best firm I've ever worked for, consulting or industry.

Cons

Systems aren't always the best but they continue to work on that. Balancing a growing national network combined with local delivery is taking time to perfect.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
