Pros

-Slalom is a company that truly cares about its employees well-being and input. All of our company strategies and the initiatives that come from it are all based off of employee feedback and ideas. -I truly feel a sense of work-life balance here that everyone respects. -The culture is truly something special- extremely smart, talented and humble people who make coming to work very enjoyable. Many opportunities to get involved outside of typical project work- both from professional and social standpoints. The emphasis on the employee and retaining our culture is felt at all levels of leadership-including our CEO.

Cons

The 401k plan and match is not great. I don't have a problem with the benefits or PTO- but suppose an extra week would be nice since there is no distinction between sick/personal days. The HR team did a roadshow and took everyone's extremely candid feedback, and have sent out many communications that this is something being worked on, which I am confident will eventually be improved.

Thank you for posting a review. Your measured candor is much appreciated. And, as you point out, leadership and HR have heard the general feedback regarding the benefits and are working on improving that element of Slalom. It's wonderful that the Slalom culture and integrity resonate with you. Your feedback around benefits and especially your thoughts regarding keeping what makes Slalom special as we grow will be shared with leadership. If you have any additional feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com. Thank you

Pros

Nice co-workers Still manages to land some decent projects

Cons

Local management is aloof and disconnected from the field consultants. Very cliquish and political. As Slalom grew, they could not adapt and reverted to their Accenture ways. It is a shame, it used to be a great place to work.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for your review. I plan on sharing it with our Denver office leadership team. If there are more specifics you care to share, I would like to hear about those. Certainly, not the intent of this company to change our culture or core values even as we grow, so would love to understand how things impacted you. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com or if you want to remain anonymous send feedback to feedback@slalom.com. Thanks for considering these other ways to share so we can continuously improve.

Pros

Very bright and intelligent colleagues who made it enjoyable to go to work every day. Slalom office was very nice and professional. Great environment for younger consultants who enjoy the many after work events and party atmosphere.

Cons

Lack of cohesive management team. Tough for staff members with families. The after work events although not required to attend, affected performance review in Team Player category if not attended. Poor communication from management often caused by the lack cohesiveness at the highest levels.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for your review. I admit we put a lot of events out there to make sure there can be enough connections between colleagues to learn, socialize and collaborate. It's a balance we want people to walk for what fits with their personal life and style. If you care to share more specific feedback on how this impacted you in a negative way, I would very much like to hear and learn about that. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to connect. Thanks again.
