Pros

Smart and experienced people who you can bounce ideas off with

Cons

Unfortunately these smart and experienced people are not in the middle LT "Leadership Team", especially the so called people managers whose job is ensure you are utilized. There's little chance you'll learn from or grow professionally with them. Secondarily, I wish Slalom would just admit it is not too far from a staffing agency. Third, culture talk is really irking. The fraternity culture grates on those who do not want to participate either they can't due to other priorities in their life or they simlly don't want to .

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
