      Lack of diversity, tons of politics around career advancement

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - great work/life balance - beautiful local offices - friendly co-workers who are very understanding of family/work balance - high growth firm with opportunities to lean in

      Cons

      - overwhelmingly white senior leadership team, with very poor scores on overall diversity - Lots of internal diversity emails but lots of talk and little "walk" - Recognition happens infrequently and only by the same few people aimed at the same few people - Internal career advancement framework is incredibly broken. They tried to re-do it in 2020 and it was a debacle. - Have to scratch and claw to get a promotion and even then, relationships with Directors is a must have, otherwise your work will never get recognized on merit alone - Compensation is way, WAY below industry standards. Known to counter-offer with higher salaries only as employees are on their way out the door. - Don't come here trying to do business consulting. Was always and continues to become mainly an IT consulting firm. The fit for former Big 4 consultant is becoming less logical than it was 3-4 years ago.

      A promise unfulfilled

      Solutions architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Intentions to have great culture, lots of gatherings after work to maintain continuity, some interesting work depending on the project

      Cons

      Management makes too many decisions in a vacuum that have far-reaching impact. Folks on-the-ground bringing in the coin are at the mercy of the Managing Director overseeing the project. At-a-whim you can be ripped from a project with zero warning. Horrible continuity when there is project turnover which leaves the people left behind at a severe disadvantage. When projects go off-the-rails (happens way too often) the almighty dollar wins in nearly every case. This is not the way to build/maintain a culture and values. Oh, and you can kiss your bonus goodbye unless you are nearly 100% utilized that year-end payout will not be the nice surprise you expect.

      This is John Tobin. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak. I'm very familiar with all our culture initiatives from an overall company perspective (vs. market specific), so would be happy to talk to you about that too. I believe Slalom is focused on hiring the right people and we are looking to maintain a consistent fit for our core values and culture - That said, we are not perfect and I agree we must diligently support the focus on this no matter how big we get.

      Just another arrogant consulting shop

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice office in a good location downtown, with a ping-pong table.

      Cons

      There are some egos and poorly managed teams by technical folks that are overconfident in their abilities and poor listeners. The pay and benefits are below market. I was sold on some positive Glassdoor reviews and have been disappointed from what I have seen from the leadership at Slalom Build in Denver.

I would really encourage you to talk directly to the Denver Build leaders - I believe feedback is a gift, and it takes a person (potentially like you) reaching out to provide the feedback to make it have an impact.
