Pros

Great office location in Scottsdale! A lot of company activities, which is always good for culture and camaraderie.

Cons

- False claims during hiring process, i.e., practice size and experience level. - Customer Experience (Salesforce) team is a brand new Salesforce practice in Slalom's Arizona Market. Unfortunately, they are not utilizing resources, materials, or methodologies from the rest of Slalom's established Salesforce practices, which makes for an inconsistent brand message and a premature practice. - Slalom's Arizona market is run more like a franchise model instead of sharing in Slalom's success. - Many roles on a Salesforce project are filled by a PM with no Salesforce experience, who wants to "try something new". - There is an extreme lack of accountability. One of the core principles is to be your "Genuine Self" but there is no hierarchy of accountability. If you have an issue with a coworkers style or handling of a client, its up to you to tell them no matter where you sit in the chain of command. Makes for a very uncomfortable situation that everyone avoids so crazy people, stay crazy. - Expect to be very underutilized and bored but it makes for a great work to life balance!

This is John Tobin. I appreciate you encouraging the Phoenix office to stay connected to the rest of Slalom especially to share in the assets / i.p. that already exists, like in the broader Slalom Salesforce community. I have seen this happen actively in the BAS and the Healthcare space for example with the Phoenix office. 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. Alternatively, if you’d like to share more feedback anonymously, please consider doing so via this survey: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey.

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.
