I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Slalom (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I interviewed with one of Slalom's recruiters who was very savvy, supportive, and transparent about the interview process. I then interviewed with the second in command and head of one of their consulting practices. I left with the impression that they were going through a lot of growth and change and were not clear on the type of company it wanted to be. I sensed they were leaving behind elements of their culture that have made them successful in order to start competing with the bigger firms and that was reflected in their lack of clarity on who they wanted to hire. They seem like a great company going through the inevitable growing pains of success and expansion. It will be interesting to see if they navigate that process skilfully.

Question 1
Questions were focused on competencies - what I've done, what I like doing and what skills and experience I bring to the table. Interviews were supportive and conversational in nature. An exploration on what's possible. Positive.
Recruiter screening focused on background and fit, followed by a hiring manager interview assessing technical and consulting skills, and a final director round evaluating strategic thinking, communication, and overall alignment.
I applied online. I interviewed at Slalom (Santa Monica, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Initial HR interview then interview with hiring manager and then never heard again from the company. Reached out multiple times for follow up on whether moving forward or not, and never got a response. Job posting still on.
5 or 6 rounds, including a technical screening panel interview. Role-based questions and specific scenarios. Met with various practice leaders and engagement leads. The whole process took about 6 weeks.
