      Mini-Accenture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      What remains of the initial culture that existed 5 years ago is still a positive. Each employee is empowered to say "No" which doesn't exist in many other organizations (whether they be industry or professional services). Work/Life balance remains a priority across the organization...In Denver this holds true depending upon whom you work for. More and more of the account leadership resources are pushing to sell solutions (likely based upon pressure from National) which do not exist or are otherwise immature. This results in long hours and poor delivery. In a relatively small market such as Denver, Slalom cannot afford poor delivery.

      Cons

      After 5 years with Slalom I've watched it shift from a very people and client focused organization to a model shaped, by and large, from Accenture. Much of the leadership team in the Denver office is ex-ACN and are ever changing the culture and approach to mimic that of their previous employer. No longer is the focus on aligning closely with the client but to deliver a solution ... often one that doesn't exist. Communication within leadership and down to those delivering work is near non-existent. The result is an expectation by the project teams to know what leadership expects even with the absence of clear communication. This is accepted by senior leadership and even fostered so long as revenue numbers are met. Like ACN, sales = success regardless of the price to people or culture.

      This is John Tobin. I'll share your feedback with the GM of Denver. I would encourage you to talk to him directly on this type of stuff that you are seeing. I have conversations with him (Brian T) often about our culture and taking care of people and I feel he would be receptive to the conversation - especially the constructive feedback. I do want to say that the annual survey is anonymous. I have never seen who said what in our SES survey. We do track and are aware if people took the survey or not, but I promise you the results on who voted / commented is not shared and I can not see it. Thanks for your dedication over the years you have been with Slalom. Feel free to reach out to me too if you want to have a conversation about what you are seeing / feeling. Email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to talk. Thanks, John T
