Pros

Honestly, very little to offer. Maybe decent work-life balance if you’re lucky, but that depends on the project.

Cons

Slalom is where careers stagnate. Promotions are based on favoritism rather than merit, leading to a highly political environment where backdoor deals matter more than actual contributions. The pay is below industry standards, and leadership is bloated with ineffective management that prioritizes optics over impact. If you're looking for career growth, mentorship, or a fair playing field—look elsewhere.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
