Pros

The people at Slalom were fun to be around and both the local and national leadership express relatively healthy values. Work/life balance was great primarily because there wasn't enough work to go around.

Cons

There are few real solution offerings. Much more of the work was un-engaging staff augmentation work than they told me when I signed up. Very few people actually got promoted. There was very little career progression.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
