Pros

The delivery teams are genuinely nice and fun to work with. Good internal culture balances the stress of client work.

Cons

It's very difficult to get anywhere once you're in the door here. You're very unlikely to get promoted or more than a 3-7% bonus annually. You will however work your butt off for your awesome delivery teams, put in tons of overtime, learn quite a bit, but ultimately get nowhere. My advice- negotiate your salary higher than you're comfortable with. It's not likely to change for several years.

This is John Tobin. I'm sorry about your experience so far at Slalom. Houston is still a relatively new office for us and there probably have been some inconsistent experiences for some of our folks. If you are interested in having a conversation with me about what you are seeing, I would be very open to it. Simply email me at 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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
