Slalom reviews

when something is too good to be true WATCH OUT! There is always a catch. Here is the catch with Slalom. >Potential employee falls for the glassdoor reviews and constant bombardment of slalom BS on linkedin and constant HR follow ups on linkedin. >Potential employee(who has never ever heard of slalom) does his "research" on internet which is bombarded by HR with all the "awesomeness" of slalom. >Potential employee takes leap of faith of those glorious internet reviews and joins slalom. >Welcome to slalom new sheep! Baaaaaaaaaa now you find projects and start working >New sheep soon realizes the "slalom way of doing things, slalom culture" is all just a eye wash and there is nothing inside. >At this point you have 2 choices 1) realize your mistake and run for exit (smart choice) 2) Pretend to drink the slalom koolaid and keep on chanting the slalom mantra and pretend to part of the slalom culture. >The companies sucks blood out of new employees until they run for exits, and the cycle repeats!

Dishonesty, "culture" is all talk, everything is just for show. Your "mentors" only do it to brag, you get punished for things you can't control (like whether sales has signed a contract or not), they lie about their dedication to inclusion. (They ignore trans people in all metrics, laid off the accessibility leads, punish people for taking ADA accommodations.) They say they care about and trust their employees then force a back-to-office policy. Their benefits and pay are far behind others in the industry (esp after a year-long freeze). Paid 2x what I am now for the same health coverage. Very thin pipeline of incoming work means I expect there will be more layoffs by Q2 2024. (Speaking of layoffs, they've been doing them for a bit but kept it secret until the big one. It was not their first layoff. They also keep an entire division that is unpaid if not on a project so they can inflate their numbers. Those "employees" don't yet any Slalom privileges, just get to be numbers.)
