Interview
A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn about applying for and interviewing with the Emerge team. I spoke for 30 minutes with the recruiter, and while it was a positive conversation, they would not share the job title or salary range, and didn’t request my resume. Red flags, but I decided to move forward, giving them the benefit of the doubt because they were recruiting for a new team and expected to get a better understanding in the next round.
I then met with the hiring manager for an hour (!) and received a handful of vague questions about my experiences with “technology” and “digital,” which are extremely broad topics. The interviewer had a lot of disparate follow up questions on the stories I shared, but didn’t allow me to connect the details to the overall arc of any story, and never asked about any specific technologies or techniques I had used outside of those examples. I’ve had actual difficult interviews before, but this was difficult because they were not communicating effectively. I did not feel like I wanted to move forward after the conversation. I heard back two days later I wouldn’t be anyway, because they wanted someone with more specific experience (which they still didn’t explain).
I walked away with barely any further understanding of what they were trying to accomplish with this team, or what roles they were trying to hire for. Without that and just a bunch of broad questions, it’s impossible to give a focused interview that helps them understand my experience. Huge waste of time, it left a really bad impression of the company and how they approach business.
Not too difficult. All questions were what you would expect. A few rounds with the hiring manager, and others from the team / umbrella which included a case study. The prompt was given with a few different options and fairly simple to deliver.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom in Oct 2024
Interview
Four separate 30 minute interviews. Each with a different individual. Each interview was supposed to be focused on one thing like culture or technical skills, but in reality the interviewers did what they wanted.

Interview
Very friendly, multiple screeners with people in the local office (over zoom). They'll ask about any consulting experience, but mostly want to get to know you as a person. Just be yourself.
