      Pros

      - Mostly average benefits - Typically no travelling - Some consultants/managers are great

      Cons

      - Lots of grandstanding, from work quality, to culture, and everything in between: one example, the CEO proclaimed "people over profits" during COVID, but maybe they forgot they let go of people (including recent new grads!) in the months prior - Surprisingly unwelcoming environment considering how often there's sessions on discrimination, mindsets, etc - Infighting between regional offices - Focus on client happiness over employee happiness (typical consulting) - Lots of internal pushing to get rated highly by polls (best place to work, etc)

      This is John Tobin. I really do not understand some of your comments, the first bullet especially. We have had no lay offs - despite many other consulting companies doing that. We delayed our new grad (analysts) to September, but they all started now and are doing amazing. I feel we are equally customer and employee focused. And finally we encourage people to fill out best places to work surveys, but we absolutely don't tell people how to rate us - we are just confident that most people really like it here at Slalom. I would encourage you to send me an email at johnt@lslalom.com to set up a time to talk about what you saw while here - I look forward to the conversation. Alternatively, if you’d like to share more feedback anonymously, please consider doing so via this survey: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
