I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom (Denver, CO) in Apr 2021
Interview
One of the most pleasant interview processes that I experienced in my job hunt! Everyone who I spoke with genuinely wanted to get to know me, learn about my background, understand my interests and career goals to determine how I would best fit in at Slalom. I was asked a lot of situational questions and did not feel as though the interviewer was trying to challenge or trick me. Instead, they asked thoughtful follow-up questions and we had a conversation about my experiences. Each interviewer shared a unique perspective on their Slalom experience and it was evident that the company has very strong values at all levels. I was told the final round would be a case study interview, but I got an offer in the Delivery Leadership practice before that happened.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when a project wasn't going well and what you did to get it back on track.
Tell me about a time when you had to learn something new in a short timeframe.
Mostly standard consulting interview questions: ask about your past work experience, what were the difficulties and how you overcame these difficulties, etc. Overall process took a little bit longer than expected due to difficulty to get interviewers' availability.
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.
