Pros

Work/life balance is great Nice people, for the most part

Cons

Where to begin. There is zero accountability here and expectations are low. Don't expect to have influence over changing ANYTHING - if I had a dime for every time I've heard "that's the way Slalom is" or "it's likely not going to change" I would be a rich person. The lack of agility, process improvement and leadership is staggering. They claim to be a feedback focused company yet, don't provide feedback unless it's positive - no one knows how to give constructive, actionable feedback - you're supposed to be "nice" which helps no one. If you've been there forever, especially sitting in Seattle, you love it because favoritism rules and you never have to be innovative. New viewpoints are considered threatening despite hiring people with...new viewpoints. Despite being a large company, there is NO COO. There is a lot of bad behavior that is excused away. I chose Slalom for its reviews, however I could not be more disappointed with how it actually is for people that are motivated by challenging work. There just isn't any.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
