Pros

Nice office in a good location downtown, with a ping-pong table.

Cons

There are some egos and poorly managed teams by technical folks that are overconfident in their abilities and poor listeners. The pay and benefits are below market. I was sold on some positive Glassdoor reviews and have been disappointed from what I have seen from the leadership at Slalom Build in Denver.

This is John Tobin. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this if you would like - simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to speak. I would really encourage you to talk directly to the Denver Build leaders - I believe feedback is a gift, and it takes a person (potentially like you) reaching out to provide the feedback to make it have an impact.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
