Pros

Employee owned firm that is full of passionate, high character employees who truly represent the highest performing consultants at their craft. The culture Slalom fosters is incredibly unique. With a focus on a core set of values, our people lead by example and with humility with a sincere effort to make a positive impact with our clients and our communities. Finally - there is a great balance of making sure we are a sound, successful business that also makes sure we do not take ourselves too seriously - plenty of fun and great options such as our company paid retreats, sabbaticals, high energy quarterly meetings and social events.

Cons

The firm is experiencing a high level of growth - growing 35% annually for the last 10 years. Slalom is not perfect and as we grow, we continue to need to make sure our growth does not take away the intimate people first culture here. But - when things are bending a bit - it feels like we continue to get re-grounded into our principles. Also - this is a great place for someone who enjoys the turns of a great journey - vs being in a predictable box.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
