      Pros

      People are nice, the work is descent and can't beat the local model

      Cons

      I was told a lot of things while I was being recruited and so far nothing has come to fruition. I was told there is no budget for training but when I asked to go to a conference that I have attended for years I was told I can only go if a client goes. But people in other cities are able to go. Its a learning opportunity and I specifically asked while being recruited if I would be able to go and I was told yes. This is just one example, but so far, they have dropped the ball on all the things they told me to sell me on Slalom and make the jump. I'm 50% regretful of my decision and that's never happened before.

      This is John Tobin. I would agree that if we told you this during the recruiting process, then we should follow through on this - it's our first core value: Do the Right Thing, Always. Further - you are right that often, in our company employees in great standing are allowed to follow through on whatever training / learning goal they have, given the right business justification. I would be happy to talk and work with your leadership team to understand the situation Simply email me at johnt@slalom.com to set something up.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
