Vantaggi

- Fantastic, talented consultants among Slalom's ranks - Emphasis on community giveback was refreshing - Allowance for training and education facilitates getting external training with little hassle.

Svantaggi

- Lack of rigor in hiring led to bringing on underperforming/unstaffable folks who are not given feedback for improvement. This is a disservice to their development as well as to top performing consultants who are expected to pick up slack. - No career progression or promotion path. - Leaders value sales (or relationships) over delivery. Similar to larger consulting firms, impossible projects are sold and consultants are expected to deliver. However, instead of large teams to lean on, there are small teams with little support from the top. - Toxic culture of male misogyny, with disparaging comments about female employees and clients, and escalations ignored or swept under. - Problems in the office are swept under the rug and masked by continued "rah rah" attitude from leadership, particularly when other leaders are present. - Delivery quality seems to be all over the place, with different expectations for different clients, not defining quality based on what we are proud to put out. - Lack of transparency in the way decisions are made.

Vantaggi

•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.

Svantaggi

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
