      Lower than market pay and bad immigration process

      Solutions architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are nice. Initially, work-life balance was good. Later, that changed as the firm grew. Good company to work for to be in consulting.

      Cons

      Not a good place for technical people. Recognition and pay is not what you would expect. For this reason, Slalom is unable to get or retain talented technical folks. So, you end up working with not so technically sound developers and architects. Immigration process for employees is slow and we need to be aware of I140 withdrawal as well.

      This is John Tobin. It's fair feedback that we really need to stay on top of the market for technical experts in the Bay area. Also, I'm sorry to hear about your experience during the immigration process - I have not heard that as a consistent problem, but will look into it. If there is more you would like to share with me, email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk.

      Grateful I made the move to Slalom!

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great recruiting team that moved the process along quickly given that I had another offer - Nicest group of people you'll ever work with - Reasonable hours - Intelligent, hardworking colleagues - Fun, young culture - Interesting projects - Leadership asks for and listens to feedback (e.g., working on making the benefits better - maternity leave just increased to four months and paternity to three weeks)

      Cons

      - 7 holidays - They say it's an “opt-in” culture but your involvement internally does affect your bonus, which is challenging for someone who's reserved - Slalom doesn't reimburse you for mileage or parking and parking at some clients costs $25 per day. I wish I had fully realized that when I negotiated my offer - it adds up - Takes a year to start receiving the company 401(k) match

      Toxic environment hidden by "rah rah" culture

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Fantastic, talented consultants among Slalom's ranks - Emphasis on community giveback was refreshing - Allowance for training and education facilitates getting external training with little hassle.

      Cons

      - Lack of rigor in hiring led to bringing on underperforming/unstaffable folks who are not given feedback for improvement. This is a disservice to their development as well as to top performing consultants who are expected to pick up slack. - No career progression or promotion path. - Leaders value sales (or relationships) over delivery. Similar to larger consulting firms, impossible projects are sold and consultants are expected to deliver. However, instead of large teams to lean on, there are small teams with little support from the top. - Toxic culture of male misogyny, with disparaging comments about female employees and clients, and escalations ignored or swept under. - Problems in the office are swept under the rug and masked by continued "rah rah" attitude from leadership, particularly when other leaders are present. - Delivery quality seems to be all over the place, with different expectations for different clients, not defining quality based on what we are proud to put out. - Lack of transparency in the way decisions are made.
