Used to be good, but going downhill faster than any company I've ever worked for - Software Developer Slalom Employee Review

- pays much less than other jobs that require the same skills. - Current employees are worried about ending up on the bench and laid off due to lack of work. there is a policy in place that will separate you after 90 days on the bench. - Current employees are worried sick leave may land them on the bench/laid off when they get back. - Current employees are worried maternity leave may land them on the bench/laid off when they get back. - If you do consulting work, ending up on the bench is out of your control. it's where you go when there are more employees than work, disconnected c-suite sees it as a skill issue. in reality you end up on the bench by finishing a project during slow times. there are a lot of slow times right now. - Company will micromanage you during the 90 day period on the bench to pressure you to quit before they have to separate you. - Big focus on AI with no real plan or capability to deliver. None. - lack of knowledge sharing tools. - Intentionally vague communication around promotion and bonus payout possibilities. as in things are promised to return at some point soon, but never do. - weird cooperate structure that attempts to keep slalom "local", but really means slalom doesn't share resources and employees from one city to another. - most of the work is remote, but the company is pushing RTO really hard. - CEO seems greedy and sneaky. Implemented mass layoffs with a prerecorded video. tried to gain sympathy from remaining employees after layoff. - This was the weirdest professional social environment I've ever worked in. it was gossipy and very unprofessional. They call it cult-URE, but it felt more cult-LIKE. - Slalom name won't help your resume or job search in tech roles. Everyone thinks it's a ski company.
