Pros

Company's values, Intelligent co-workers, flexible career path, impactful work. Although the client I am currently staffed on has been extremely challenging from a work-load and effectiveness standpoint, I am seeing my boss and other leaders make extra effort to make sure that us Consultants are "hanging in there" and feel fully supported by Slalom.

Cons

Processes and procedures still solidifying, work-life balance is a "moving average." With a career path which you can define yourself, there is a lot of opportunity but it can also seem a little daunting. If you want a mentor or career coach, you better come with a plan and not expect the mentor/coach to lay it out for you.

Thank you for sharing your experience working with Slalom. Sounds like you are enjoying many aspects of the work and colleagues. Glad to hear that you are staying positive even though you are currently with a challenging client. I'll make sure leadership hears your thoughts regarding the "still-solidifying processes and procedures." If you have any other feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
