Pros

Slalom is fantastic if you are great at self promotion. The horizontal organizational structure requires you to find ways to differentiate yourself through things other than title. This is a huge 'Pro' depending on your personality and drive. The focus on people is also very, very real. Slalom recognizes us as their greatest asset and reminds everyone of this focus on a very regular basis. Great office events. Did I mention the people? The people are great.

Cons

A majority of the client work is focused on roles that would otherwise be considered staff augmentation work. While I understand the importance of maintaining a semblance of the staff augmentation business model (for reasons of blending out variability in revenue, etc.), the associated work may not be what new hires are sold on.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
