Pros

Slalom was founded on core values. When I began, these core values weren't simply decorations on the wall. Management and leadership truly valued them and would step in when employees did not uphold these core values. Formerly, the culture was vibrant and all were invited to have a seat at the table.

Cons

Slalom has several systemic issues: - The "inclusive" culture touted by white males on LinkedIn isn't actually inclusive. Diversity is approached as a check the box rather than an actual shift in mindset where diverse backgrounds are included at the table. - Slalom expects a volunteer group of women to solve the sexist culture. Recently, women have been promoted to "management" to positions and this is showboated to the company of hey look we hired a woman! We are so not sexist. They hire women into inclusion and diversity and HR positions rather than President, GM of a region, or other more strategic positions. The strategic positions are pretty much held by all men. - Slalom doesn't have a clear career trajectory. Their thought is their new framework will solve all their problems when in reality, they haven't done any work to address the heart of the problem. Slalom needs to give managers training (such an easy win), and allow them to not be fully utilized so they can support their direct reports. Tell me if someone has a family or a sick mom or can't put in the 60+ hour work week, how are they supposed to succeed and support their direct reports?

This is John Tobin. I'm guessing that you were part of the corporate services team with the title of administration. I would encourage you to reach out to some of the leads of that group either our CFO or CPO as an example. You can always reach out to me at johnt@slalom.com and I can pass along the feedback.
