Pros

The office quarterlies, department quarterlies, holiday parties, and rendezvous. Not to mention all of the after-work happy hours, clubs, and social events. This is a very social company so make sure you're very extroverted. Everyone is a team player and supportive of each other so when a problem arises there are people lined up to help.

Cons

The projects you will encounter are not challenging unless they place you as team lead at a client, in which case navigating political waters and project management should be your strengths. It is expected of the consultant to grow their skill sets outside of the client work environment which is very difficult since 40% of one's bonus is based on extra curricular activities within Slalom. They also advertise an "unlimited" training budget, but that is very subjective.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
