Pros

Pay is good and there is training available if you want it

Cons

Culture has changed a lot in the past 6 months and many people who were around for the past 5 years are leaving due to this. Leadership is driven more by numbers than taking care of their people. Feels like a lot of good people are leaving. "Diversity" is stressed but this means promoting women to leadership positions(about 50% of the office leadership is women and the office as a whole may be 15% women). the old GM moving up hurts the culture as people are not happy with the new culture (money driven vs. people driven)

This is John Tobin. I've talked to the Dallas leadership team about this post. I really do not feel like this is the attitude or perspective that the leadership team has (only numbers driven), but perception and feelings are reality here, so we need to work on how things are being communicated. I have absolutely seen a more focused approach to operating our business stronger in Dallas, and they have not intended to let this change their true view to being a people-first type of organization. I encourage you to talk to the leaders and really judge for yourself - I find them to have a great deal of integrity and I think it would go a long way to getting a true sense of how much they care about people. If you would like to discuss this more with me (or the old GM for that matter), please email me to schedule a time to talk. Also, 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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
