Pros

In over a decade in the consulting industry, the work I've been doing since joining slalom last year has been the most interesting and meaningful client work in my career

Cons

The slalom business model requires a local market to start up and grow organically around the clients and industries prevalent in that market. With this model, there are start up pains and growing pains that every market must go through. This is probably the root cause of some of the negative opinions of the consulting work on Glassdoor. Slalom markets must achieve a maturity level that supports better projects, better clients, better opportunities for growth and promotion within the market.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's wonderful that your time with Slalom has comprised the most interesting and meaningful client work of your career. You're absolutely right about the Slalom model; it requires markets to grow their own client base. Your feedback regarding not changing the above-mentioned model will be passed along to leadership. If you have any additional feedback that you'd like to share, please feel free to email HR anonymously at feedback@slalom.com. Again, thank you for leaving a review.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
