Pros

Great office view in Seattle. The operations and HR team are very supportive and efficient. Overall great hiring experience.

Cons

- Meeting room is extremely LIMITED. To make the situation worse, the VP/president's secretary constantly overrides booking calendar and kicks people out for their "important" meetings. When you write nice words on Glassdoor, please take the action to give your people the generosity of space. Just be fair, it it hard for everyone! - absolute no saying on the types of project you are working on.

This is John Tobin. I'll mention this to our operations group regarding being bumped for rooms. We are expanding quite a bit and adding a new floor too in our Seattle office. Regarding no say on the type of project, please relay this to your people manager in terms of the type of work you want to do and that you don't feel included in the process. If you would like to connect on any of these items, don't hesitate to send me an email to schedule a time to talk - johnt@slalom.com.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
