Pros

Slalom is a great place to get started in consulting. The consultants are good people and some of the management folks really do care about the consultants.

Cons

Does not have an option for consulting as a 1099. The management team is always saying to come forward with a good idea that is well founded and we will support your efforts to building a case for a new practice or a new initiative. But what they say and what they do are two completely different things.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
