      Pros

      Slalom has hired some good employees that care about doing good work, you don't have to travel if you don't want to.

      Cons

      Too much focus on run rate goals and being "first" to hit targets instead of getting the best people in line for success or implementing the best ideas. Management is *way* to slow in eliminating bad employees. Allowed one to stay on for almost a year even when it was discovered that he was outright lying about business development and expenses. A lot of my ideas that come from experience in building a practice were either dismissed or ignored despite my having a direct line with companies that could bring business to Slalom. Some of the management reverts to big 4 ways despite the "different kind of consulting company" rhetoric. Asked for more responsibility and increased title and was told to just keep doing what I am doing. Never happened.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
