Pros

Culture comes from the top, and Slalom - unlike MANY other places I've worked - has leaders who aren't shy about leading and who are truly committed to growing their people, serving their community, and creating an environment that consultants actually WANT to work in. The pay is competitive (but not outrageous... you'll have to travel 24/7 and make many other compromises if that's your only goal). The benefits are decent/good but getting better (recent 401K enhancements pleased me). The office recognizes that, with few exceptions, we're experienced consultants and treats us as such (no stupid micromanagement from my boss or anyone else for that matter). Slalom creates an environment that tends to bring out the best in people, and it shows.

Cons

One of Slalom's core values is "celebrate authenticity", but it's clear that the company favors a certain type of personality: Outgoing/extroverted; loquacious; community-service-focused; kind, gentle, and understanding in all circumstances; conflict-averse; diplomatic. None of these things are necessarily objectionable, but that doesn't describe everyone (some people are introverted, some enjoy respectful conflict/disagreement as a constructive tool, etc.), and I worry that I (and others) sometimes lack the innate characteristics that are "expected" of a Slalomite. But I've never felt unwelcome, just a little pressured to conform.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
