      Pros

      Great colleagues, low stress low hours and still a little entrepreneurial. You don’t have to follow a set track here, you’re able to make your own way to some degree

      Cons

      Slalom used to have interesting work where we partnered with our clients. We helped them define their goals, and guided them towards best in class ideas from our experience in the market. That has all changed. Now we basically just ask clients what they want and tell them how many people and weeks it will take to do what their asking. Pushing back and suggesting better approaches doesn’t happen often. And senior leadership have basically become the thought police. Just today the CEO sent an email asking everyone not to use the term “hey guys” because it’s not gender neutral. I doubt the CEO of McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte or Accenture has time to make it appear they are addressing inequality. They’re probably too busy actually doing something about it rather than talking about it.

I am personally extremely focused on moving us up the value chain to focus on larger outcomes and transformations for our clients.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
