Pros

I come from the technology/development side of the company, so my review will be more applicable to those people exploring a change within that space. I've been fortunate in my time at Slalom to be given complete ownership of my career as well as a great deal of autonomy. Slalom is a well-trusted partner to its clients within the Atlanta market, and we are usually given a lot of flexibility when it comes to defining architecture and making technical decisions. We also tend to be given control of entire solutions and rarely if ever have any staff augmentation roles. Consultants are encouraged and supported to seek out professional development opportunities (classes, books, conferences, etc), so make sure that you want to continue learning when you join. Culture is highly protected and valued at Slalom. In addition, the development practices have taken additional steps to protect culture by centralizing a lot of the work that is done. Typically, development projects out of Atlanta will be done leveraging a mix of time at the client site and working out of our offices. This allows the entire team (and team members on different projects) to work in the same space, share ideas/collateral, and interact throughout the day. This is a rare thing in consulting, and it has had a hugely positive impact on morale and feeling as though you are part of a team.

Cons

Slalom still struggles with finding ways to bring the office together that do not involve happy hours, partying, etc. It seems like Slalom was built on a bit of a "frat" mentality and that can turn some people off. I would like to see more opportunities for the families of Slalom consultants to get together to celebrate instead of just setting up events for spouses/spices/consultants. Salaries and compensation are in line with the market, but I would like to see additional benefits added (more attractive PTO plans, additional 401k match, paternity leave, etc)

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.
