Slalom reviews

They’ve continually made the benefits less good but more expensive the 9+ years I worked there, a lot of turnover, bonuses are weak, they don’t give appropriate pay raises, the managers can be pretty toxic

1. My local market is going from fully remote to 3-4 days in the office mandatory. A lot of my colleagues were hired in remotely and are panicking about what this means. Office is not set up to have this many people there (loud, cluttered, not enough desks) and is not a great fit for all people. 2. People are pretty homogeneous - a lot of drinking culture in my office, people make connections through events and parties. As a non-drinker, that makes it tough to engage with colleagues. 3. Benefits are really not great. 17 days of starting PTO sounds great, until you realize that there is 0 days of paid sick leave. Industry standard is 10 days of sick leave, so if you take that out of the PTO allowance you only have SEVEN days left. This is compounded by the return to office policy, as now workers have to choose between going into the office sick or taking one of their limited PTO days. There are no exceptions for working remote anymore and you must be in the office. I’m glad I got out.
