Pros

Great location; nice office/food perks; some really great people

Cons

As a proud team member who has been with Slalom (Toronto) for 3+ years I had the great pleasure of joining and experiencing the amazing culture and place that represented the best of Slalom. Things started to change quickly 18 months ago. I/we have since unfortunately noticed an exponential increase in the amount of political maneuvering setting foot within our walls. It is frustrating to see how this has directly impacted promotions (ie. promotion to MD). There are some fantastic candidates who possess leadership we admire who were overlooked recently. This, coupled with the many great practitioners who have chosen to leave to go elsewhere over the past year as a result of what I have noted is disheartening at best. I know of others actively looking (Covid is keeping them here for now), and I wonder why I am still wanting to work here. I miss the old culture and the true genuineness that once existed.

This is Wayne Ingram. I likely know you and I would really love to talk to you if you are open to it. As we grow in Canada, we continue to tweak our organization, I admit that we will continue to maneuver different roles and responsibilities of our leaders. That said, I don’t ever want this to be a place that feels political and if you are sensing that, perhaps others are too. Could you please send me an email to schedule a time to talk, I promise I will have an open-mind, confidential conversation and listen. I would love to learn more. Alternatively, if you’d like to share more feedback anonymously, please consider doing so via this survey: http://slalom.ws/anonsurvey. I’m grateful you have been here for 3+ years and would love to make sure, as we grow and evolve, this is still a place you would love to call home. Thanks for all you do. Cheers Wayne

A lot of opportunity as the company is well positioned with tier 1 technologies in their overall stack giving them a broader perspective to bring to the market

Cons

Constant change in leadership & evolving commission structure - has created a level of uncertainty in the direction the ship is being steered
