Pros

When I started at Slalom, the culture was most appealing to me. They wanted to do their part in making it feel like home. Compensation was decent as I was able to negotiate for higher pay. I was able to build friendships outside of the company.

Cons

They don’t do a great job of professional career development. They are so many talented individuals at the company, however the ones who get promoted are typically due to politics or “favoritism”. People Leaders aren’t really trained out how to talk to their direct reports on how to make a career action plan to help them accelerate in their career. They also did a poor job of handling their lay-offs, where I knew so many talented people were let go vs there was a team member that barely showed up to work but was still able to kept their job.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
