Pros
Work life balance is good. I’ve really enjoyed the projects and working with the clients, who have been fantastic.
Cons
There’s been a noticeable lack of support from management. There are no structured paths to promotion, and advancement feels more like a popularity contest than performance-based. The lack of professional development makes it hard for employees to grow, and that’s been disappointing. Bonus and raises have been very hard to come in the last several years. While Slalom’s motto encourages being your authentic self, in practice it often feels undefined. The expectations of what ‘authentic’ means seem to shift, and there isn’t clarity around how it applies to individual growth or performance. Greater transparency around what success looks like would help align ‘authenticity’ with tangible outcomes.
