Pros

Slalom WAS an exceptionally different consulting company

Cons

The founding leadership at Slalom did a great job getting Slalom here but is proving incapable of getting us there. No one can buck the leader. Everyone know it but it’s not changing. Who could help would be an independent Board of Directors. But Slalom’s BoD is the exact same people on ELT with the exception of an early investor and one other woman. Until some leaders actually accept that they need to step down, nothing will change.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
