Pros

I got to meet a lot of smart people.

Cons

You get placed with clients for the sake of it. It is not a great place for women. They will tell you over and over again that they want to help grow your career or find a client that is a good fit. But when you are unhappy, you just need to deal with it. Low pay compared to industry or other consulting firms. 401k is a joke. You will find many people drinking the kool-aid but very few people who are actually happy at Slalom.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
