Slalom sucks go Salesforce all the way

likeuplifting

I have never worked for Slalom, but I know many who have, including former Salesforce proserv colleagues who went that direction. I've recently heard much better reports about working for Slalom - slightly dependent on global vs local/which one - and absolutely horrendous reports from multiple unrelated Salesforce colleagues who stayed, which basically amounts to more of the same when I was there (unethical behavior from senior leadership at every turn, primarily).

If you are at neither Slalom nor Salesforce or going from Slalom to Salesforce, Salesforce's offer will likely be better than what you have, but someone who's been at Salesforce a few years may very well get a better offer to jump ship to Slalom, because Salesforce doesn't do a good job with raises and promos.

As chaotic as CSG is, Salesforce is still better.

There is no comparison. Slalom is purely a body shop with a cult following, low pay and minimal benefits.

I have worked for both and compensation for pro services is much higher than Slalom.

Salesforce professional services. AEs are now comped on it so they are passing deals to their own ProServ.

Yep. As a partner I have heard this directly. We have expertise in a niche use case, but the AE gave a deal to ProServ to get their quota. Quota over customer success!

Salesforce.

Slalom varies by their location and the industries they serve. So some offices are incredible and other meh. Slalom’s WLB is good. Do your due diligence.

Depends on your role. What are you going in as. Salesforce has a thick bench. Slalom just did a good size layoff.

Business Strategy

Both are good companies for PPL like you . No request when raising a query . Direct question as if you are paying the PPL to answer.

I am an IT architect with 10 years of experience specifically in Salesforce products. I am thinking of moving from a strategy consulting role to an architecture role in Salesforce (company) itself. I have experience building tech strategies and also technical project delivery.

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
