Slalom reviews

In my opinion. From the get-go, I learned that executive leadership make decisions based on feelings, and closed-door meetings. Many leaders have a small company mentality and cannot manage on a large scale. Lots of micro-management. Leadership is not open to change, nor continuous improvement and favor tenured leaders and employees from the Seattle office. During the layoffs and continued quiet layoffs, there are clear examples of Seattle based retention bias based on historical personal relationships rather than performance and workloads. (I believe I am an example of the bias). I would anticipate the company to continue to lay off and outsource employees, as they simply don’t know how to manage a large company.

- Loose, autonomous interviewing style has led to a wide spectrum of people through the door (some are close to incompetent) - Cloud is not at the core of their business - it's still growing and going through growing pains. Lots of folks there don't know cloud but have internally transferred into cloud-facing positions - Leadership did not take swift action to make needed resource changes during 1H 2023 leading to changes to RIF and major changes bonus payout structure with short notice (less than two months notice until it takes effect) - Lack of clear strategy and priorities means that the company continues to take a "wait and see" or "organic" approach rather than picking big bets on the way forward to grow its business - For a company that sells change management services, leadership doesn't seem to embrace change management - No existence of internal job board, making internal moves solely contingent on who you know rather than level playing field for all - Seems to be channeling Amazon Leadership Principles more and more rather than sticking to own culture or building its own
