      Principal Consultant Interview

      Dec 14, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      I met the recruiter for coffee at the outset and I spoke about my experience. The recruiter asked good questions that were more about character, motivation and goals than specific work reference points (years of experience, budgets managed, solutions implemented, etc.). This was a breath of fresh air. Following that, I spoke with various discipline/practice leads over the course of several weeks. In total I had more discrete meetings than I'm used to, but that was also based on my own timeline and not a reflection of their structure, cadence or interview style. From first meeting to final meeting, it was about 4(ish) weeks. Overall the interview process was very positive. The talent acquisition team was honest throughout the process and it felt like a team effort. From the start if felt like the interview was mutual.

      Question 1

      My interviews were very conversational which made for a discussion rather than an inquisition. It was a very good interview experience in that I shared my experience through discussion rather than data points. I also got most of my own questions answered through that discussion rather than a 5-minute window at the end. One question that stood out was: Who is the most interesting person you have worked with and how did you handle it?
