Anyone have experience at Slalom Build and can you explain what it’s like to work there? I always hear good things about it.

Slalom local: standard consulting and projects, very client facing, mostly projects in your city, includes all practice lines (strategy, tech, data, XD, etc)

Slalom Emerge: same as above, except it's a global team focused on emerging technologies and augments local practices

Slalom Build: pod-style dev teams for larger tech projects, basically where the devs with no people skills and more specialized tech skills go

SC5, I'm aware and could have specified that it's more of a stereotype than 100% true across the board. I definitely don't think all of Build is poor with clients. There's a degree of difference in our highly technical Local consultants and our highly technical Builders in frequency of client-facing activities.

Build is the worse possible place you could work if you are interested in technology. It’s glorified paper pusher type tasks. Builders do not build anything. The culture is garbage.

@ SC2 he wouldn’t be a Sr. Director at slalom without honing his gaslighting skills. If you meet in person he’d convince on how all your opinions are wrong and his are right because 5 of his friends agree with him 😂😂

I don’t work in Build, but I highly recommend it for engineering folk. Brilliant people over there, and it’s always a pleasure to work with them (I’m in Emerge)

Can you share your experience at Slalom? And what is Emerge? I’ve had a recruiter reach out and I’ve never really heard of Slalom prior to my recent research

No personal experience, but oddly I’ve organically met several people whose spouse works for _build and love it. Always heartening when the spouse of an employee only has good things to say, since they likely hear the worst and most private complaints!

Of course! Best of luck regardless!
