      Great place to work if you're willing to sacrifice compensation for good working environment - Software Engineer Slalom Employee Review

      Pros

      - Have genuinely enjoyed working with almost everyone I have worked with here. You can generally count on your co-workers to be good at their jobs. - Management makes a concerted effort to be forthright and transparent with their planning and vision for the company, and a very open and accessible if you have questions or concerns - For the most part employees are given some input into what projects they would like to be on. For all my projects my manager has come to me before the project to describe it to me and get my approval before staffing me on it (that being said I haven't had a project I turned down yet, so not sure how that conversation would go). - Office environment is very laid back and fun. Lots of events, chances to connect with co-workers. Seems to me to be generally a very open and welcoming environment. - Slalom has the most mature agile practices of anywhere I've worked. Most projects generally follow agile practices and are fairly well run and organized.

      Cons

      - Compensation is below average for Seattle. 401k match is much smaller than I've had elsewhere. - There are a fair number of pretty frustrating/directionless projects that people get stuck on. I haven't been on one personally, but seems that most people have a couple horror stories of really bad projects they've been on, or are currently on. I can think of a three project right off that are going right now that I know people that can't wait to get off of. - Management can lay it on a little thick with the "we want to change the world, we want to be the best company ever" narrative. Perhaps they really feel that way, but it doesn't land well with the individual contributors, particularly when they're on a mundane, dead end project.

      Pros

      people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

      Cons

      I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
