Pros

Slalom still attracts brilliant, mission-driven people — especially in delivery and CX. • Flexibility remains a real perk. I’ve kept my weekends sacred and even squeezed in runs at my local mountains on weekdays • I was recently promoted and, to be honest, still have space to pursue my outdoor passions and coast a bit when needed.

Cons

• The “OneTeam” reorg feels more like a branding exercise than a business strategy. Lots of talk about alignment and clarity — but very little actual structure. • Senior leaders were shuffled, new titles created, but decision rights, org charts, and performance metrics remain fuzzy. • The taxonomy experiment (capability, specialty, major, minor) reads like a liberal arts course catalog with none of the fun. • For those in senior roles: this job is challenging — not because of client complexity, but because you’re managing uncertainty from the inside out. • The consulting model is clearly under pressure. Clients are buying differently, AI is rewriting the rules, and competitors are adapting faster. I don’t see us keeping pace yet.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
