Pros
People are friendly and colleagues put an effort to get to know you. The working environment is very collaborative, and people give you recognition for good work
Cons
Slalom often boasts about work-life balance and benefits. But in my six months in this organization, Slalom really needs to step up its PTO structure and medical benefits. If Slalom is truly a modern consulting firm that values its people, I would recommend shifting to a flat, upfront PTO structure where you allow employees when to plan their time off instead of having to accrue PTO. More importantly, 17 days of PTO is so low for a company that boasts a work-life balance. It should be 20 days at least. On top of that, half of the federal holidays aren’t given. For example, President’s Day, Juneteenth, and Day after Thanksgiving are not given as holidays. Instead, they offer a 2 day floating holiday which isn't enough. If you truly want to value your organization as an employee-first company you need to provide more time off, and a better holiday structure. On top of that, the medical benefits are so poor despite the options that are available, that the overall medical cost racks up. Overall very disappointing
