Pros

Paid well. When business was booming they appeared to care for it's people.

Cons

I think I was hired into Slalom right at the tail end of a major boom for the consulting industry and the company itself. At first the work was flowing and we were aligned with roles and projects that matched our talents and capabilities, so we were setup for success and able to excel. And spending a few weeks on the bench between projects, waiting for the right opportunity to come along was expected and necessary. But as the work dried up the company got desperate. It became what felt like a crime to be between projects, forcing us to take on mismatched roles on projects that didn't align with our experience. Soon everyone seemed to be stuck in roles they had no hope of excelling at. And internal meetings became like therapy sessions for all those suffering from imposter syndrome. Plus the company was pushing AI hard. It was embarrassing sitting through meetings with our leadership trying to sell a weak AI product to customers who understood the field better than we did.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
