Vantaggi
The company provides good health insurance. Contact with Slalom employees outside of the New York office was positive. The Atlanta office built a Rube Goldberg machine to demonstrate their ability to effectively engineer a complex project based on vague requirements. This kind of amazing, creative collaboration was the primary reason I sought employment at Slalom. Slalom provides an open social network to communicate with employees nation-wide which is a wonderful tool for professional development and problem-solving.
Svantaggi
Working in the New York Office was the most negative, counter-productive and mortifying work experience I've had in my 26-year career. The climate and "leadership" of the New York office is antithetical to the open social network, team collaboration, and integrity of the rest of the organization. The management, in an effort to masquerade their incompetence, scapegoats individuals, hiding from colleagues and customers only occasionally to pop up with bizarre emails nitpicking random punctuation-related minutiae without offering clear constructive guidance as to expectations. Customers get about as much respect as employees: none. For potential employees: Have you ever noticed how car dealers and other con-artists make an issue of trust and use the word honesty a lot? Honest people never have to make a point of basic decency in their conduct. Go look at Slalom New York's manager profiles and look for words like "honest." Now do the math.
