Pros

Great pay, some great people, parties.

Cons

While the company is pretty decent overall, the reviews/ratings are not very accurate. For example, most people who do reviews here were not only "forced/incouraged" to do so, but have also probably worked at the company for less than a year. It can be a cult like environment where you have to drink the cool aid. With out a doubt the worst 401k matching in the industry,...nothing else comes close.

This is John Tobin. One thing I will say is I do not force people to fill out these reviews. I do appreciate the feedback and the pulse it gives me for an overall perspective of people who are or were a part of the company. I can't argue that we evangelize and talk about our culture and core values a lot and all I can say is that it comes from a very genuine place in my heart about how I feel about our company and perhaps the way consulting can be. No doubt our 401K needs work - hope to have news to share on that soon. For other direct feedback, feel free to email me at johnt@slalom.com to set up a time to have a conversation about what you experienced - we are feedback driven and I think that is how you learn and grow. Thanks.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
