      Great company - terrible local market (St Louis)

      Principal consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Run by some of the smartest most caring authentic people who create a great culture as a company. Smart people.

      Cons

      Too much autonomy given to local markets (cities) can (and did) lead to abuses, politics, and a lot of ugliness that will take years to correct. Culture of the company doesn't necessarily translate to the local market. While some corrections have been made, several of those who created the issues remain in leadership positions. I wish the company well but I could never imagine going back there with that cast of characters. Problems include: * Politics, cliques, favoritism (promoting friends, unwritten rules, ostracize those who do not "play the game") * Saying the right things publicly, doing the wrong things privately * Huge focus on new age mystical philosophy with a meaningful disregard for operating a business * Lack of local leadership (Lots of charisma and personality, but not substance) * Popularity as important (or more) as capability * All hands meetings felt like pep rallies, carefully crafted to generate buzz over substance * Gaslighting by those in positions of power if questioned by those who aren't in their circle / play their games

      Pros

      Office snacks Free lunches Nice events

      Cons

      Slalom is a dishonest place. Everyone that had/has any sense has left or is jumping ship! Those leaving include, upper management right down to the consultants. Employee happiness has went down over the last 3 years.

      Not a good place to work for women in tech

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most people are very nice and friendly. The culture is pretty good too, as they have a lot of employee activities after hours. They have lots of happy hours, a retreat and quarterlies with food and beverages. I guess it's not that great for people that don't drink alcohol. I would say the best of the company are the ERG's, which are very diverse and constantly have meetups and talks of their topic of interests.

      Cons

      I don't recommend you to work here if you're a woman in tech or want to transition to tech. They might promise you'll have opportunities to work in projects that will help you develop tech skills, but that's probably a lie. The Technology Enablement department has a big bro culture and their App Development group is sexist. Unless you have a lot of years in experience in tech, you'll probably will be signed in to projects that are more business oriented because that's most of their contracts. For some reason, a lot of the contracts they get in TE get cancelled after they have been announced. This kept happening way before the pandemic. I know many women with tech skills that were very capable and left less than a year because they kept getting administrative work, or they were just treated poorly. Their TE leadership just doesn't know how to promote their skills and capabilities to the clients well, and they don't know how to treat them respectfully. They might offer a competitive salary as a consultant, but not as a software engineer. Honestly, if you can afford to, try getting a job somewhere else. They don't offer sick days, so most people have to save their PTO's in case they get sick.

      This is John Tobin. I know a lot of women in technology at Slalom that feel differently or have had different experiences. It would be interesting to know which part of Slalom you were a part of to best provide the feedback to the area where you worked. If you are open talking to me directly regarding your specific circumstances, simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk.
