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.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
