Pros

Good energy and they treat employees well. Generous work/life balance

Cons

Very disappointed in the lack of diversity in senior leadership. While there are very smart women in the company, senior leadership is all the same.

Pros

Great atmosphere. People come to work engaged. I see very few people complain about working or having awful projects. Upper management or leadership is very transparent in their communication. Decent perks (food, beer). Projects seem to be interesting and worthwhile Work-life balance is pretty good, from my short experience so far.

Cons

-Benefits. As everyone mentions, benefits are very lacking especially to other Seattle-area companies -If you're on a small team on a small practice, especially the National team in Seattle, it's difficult to meet others. -People on the National team can be cliquey and make it difficult for new-hires to be assimilated into the culture. Very few people seem to reach out and introduce themselves as an example -Flat organization. This can be a pro for some, but I view it as a con. -National Team operates completely separately from the Seattle team, on the internal side of things. I don't understand why or how the Seattle team has so much going on whereas the National Team is close to the exact opposite. Seattle team has organized events pretty often as well as a structured new-hire buddy program, but the National Team has few events and no similar program. -I can sense Slalom losing a grip on its culture as the company grows.

Thank you for providing a review. It's good that the management, the projects, and the work/life balance are all 'pros' for you. Your thoughts regarding culture, support and assimilation on the National Team (as compared to the local team) are valuable and I will be sure to pass them on to leadership, I will also ensure that they hear your feedback regarding benefits. If you have any additional thoughts or feedback, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com. Thank you.

Pros

1. Numerous learning opportunities. Slalom does a great job providing training/learning resources. I personally love this the best. 2. Different industry exposure - high learning curves and very helpful for consultants. 3. Problem-solving skills of managers. 4. Smart and helpful coworkers.

Cons

(Mandatory) Quarterly and ALL the social activities are held after work hours. It's extremely inconvenient for working parents who live far away. Not so much for work-life balance.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for you review and your all your hard work at Slalom. We definitely try to put a lot of events out there so people can collaborate, connect and have fun on a regular basis. I would just be pretty honest with your leaders on when you really can and can't make events - I feel people will be understanding. Feel free to ping me directly if you feel differently at johnt@slalom.com or you could always provide anonymous feedback via feedback@slalom.com. Thanks
