Pros

Culture and people are top notch. People truly want to do the right things for the company and its clients.

Cons

Strategically confused. Slalom does not appear to know what it wants to be. Stay the course and differentiate from the competition by doing great consulting, or grow too aggressively and overextend people to the point they cannot deliver as promised.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for the feedback. I am mindful that people are concerned with our rapid growth and agree we need to not overextend people where we do not come through for either our clients or our people. If you have specific information you are comfortable sharing, I would love to learn your experiences in the spirit of continuous improvement. Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com and we can figure out a way to connect. If you would rather submit more specific feedback anonymously you can email feedback@slalom.com. Thanks

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
