Pros

The culture used to be a positive, and some areas do seem to have a good work life balance (great work life balance for those on the bench, until you get fired.)

Cons

The company is bleeding money trying to stay afloat- how many town halls and emails about the same topic can we have? They leaned in hard to GenAI with leaders that have no knowledge and are wildly unequipped to handle the space and are feeling the repercussions. If you're on the bench for 12 weeks, you are automatically fired- but the company is not selling enough work in any area. Very poor long term outlook for the company. On a personal note, getting tired of being harassed to fill out "Best Places to Work" surveys when I don't feel Slalom is a good place to be. Trying to wait it out to get severance, but everyone I know is looking for new roles.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
