Pros

-Brand name (in tech) is strong, which is good for your resume -There are good people there, even in leadership, who are trying to do the right thing -Fairly low pressure and good work-life balance

Cons

All I can say is- I never realized what 'corporate gaslighting' was until I left Slalom and began to realize how unhappy I had been there. -Typical issues in consulting: Pay and comp is low, and leaders are often dishonest about rates/will put you in roles that are a bad fit just to hit their targets -Many of the leaders I worked with were (1) not as knowledgeable in our field as I expected and (2) displayed behavioral characteristics and encouraged unethical practices (such as billing clients for time you did not spend doing work for them). -"Human" branding is all a façade, it was actually creepy to see how manipulative and disingenuous some of their upper leaders were during my time there.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
