      Pros

      - Fairly flexible WFH schedule

      Cons

      - High Turnover - Mostly Staff Augmentation Roles - An alarming amount of leadership does not have Technical or Interpersonal skills - Not interested in selling? You're most likely not going anywhere - The people that do sell don't fully understand the delivery implications of what is being sold. You better get familiar with these people, you will be reporting to them sooner or later. - Leadership that is "afraid to trust anyone". It's an actual quote that was said to me by a practice lead. - Leadership overstep their bounds and try to tell you what to think on political/social issues. Expect to get many emails about how to think about things outside of work - Exaggerations about compensation, bonus % - Very high conformist culture. Not into drinking with your co-workers at least once a month? Better get comfortable with your current title. - Stunting of skills due to the same type of project sold over and over again

      This is John Tobin. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak. You are hitting on a number of items that we continue to address. One specifically is to have opportunities for senior people who are true experts and are delivery-focused vs. sales-related. This is something we are actively addressing. The other in terms of our culture, I feel we continue to put things in place to include many different types of interests, so we need to follow through on this for sure. I'll forward to the Chicago market to emphasize these points. If you’d like to share more feedback anonymously, please consider doing so via this survey: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey.

      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.
