      Pros

      Small Office Nice break room Good people . Effort is being made in order to bring benefits into line with that of more established firms

      Cons

      No project pipeline - Work seems to be literally sold today staffed tomorrow . No insight into the projects that are available especially at the national level Weak people managers No real training only training provided is via train the trainer so going to a partner or a established training institute is not supported by management . No personal development - If you are told that you do not have "Executive presence" needed for a promotion there is no program to develop that presence . If you need skills for a particular job you are expected to learn it on the job with little to no support from management Extremely political there is a schism between the "new people" and "the original people" Good people seem to be marking time waiting for an exit

      This is John Tobin. Our Dallas leadership team has already seen this review and they are considering where this feedback might be coming from and perhaps how someone like yourself might not be exposed to all the learning and development we have going on in the company. Considering our strong scores from our employee survey regarding our "People First" approaches, I really hope you raise your hand to your office leadership to provide this feedback. If you would like to talk to me about it, I encourage you to send me an email (johnt@slalom.com) to set up a time to chat. Of course if you have more feedback that you'd like to share anonymously, please complete this short survey at any time: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey. 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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
