Pros
As part of my onboarding to the Operations Coordinator role at Slalom in Boston, I was afforded the opportunity to attend a 3-day intensive training in Seattle (headquarters) where I learned more about the internal structure of Slalom, met face- to- face with the internal teams and leaders whom I would be engaging with on a regular basis, and a deeper understanding of the diverse work encompassed in the operations world at Slalom. To me, this signified that Slalom is invested in my professional development as an individual and in the success of the Boston market as a whole. In addition, I always feel fully supported by my leaders and by every Slalom employee I work with on a daily basis.
Cons
I've been working at Slalom for just over a year, first with the Recruiting team before transitioning to Operations. I can honestly say that Slalom has been the best decision I've made for my future, with goals to continue learning and growing in a supportive and positive environment. The only "con" (which, in hindsight is rather empowering) would be that career path and trajectory are not necessarily clear cut. You are challenged to hone in on your interests and find ways to take your career there for yourself.
