I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom (Portland, OR) in Jul 2015
Interview
Round 1: I met 1:1 with their Talent Acquisition Senior Manager for lunch as an initial screen and discussion of role & fit. She gave a great overview of how Slalom is structured and their operating model.
Round 2: Met 1:1 with a Consultant Manager in my practice area to discuss my background and additional details surrounding the type of work I might come across at Slalom. She referred to her "Slalom Family" when discussing her coworkers and team--that resonated strongly and definitely stuck with me.
Round 3: Began with a 1:1 interview with a Consultant in my practice area. Fairly typical discussion of background and scenario based questions. She threw a few curveballs which made the interview fun!
Case study: I was given a case study and roughly one hour to complete an overview and change plan for the given project case.
Presentation to panel: presentation of case study outputs to a 3 person interview panel (OE Consultant, Practice Area Director, and Solution Principal). There was a Q&A session and then they opened it up for questions.
Post-Interview take home: Was asked to develop my plan further and put into a client-ready presentation and submit back for review
Overall I felt the interview process was well-managed and quite thorough. I was very pleased to accept after 'running the gauntlet'!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you were able to respond quickly to shifting priorities of your stakeholders.
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.
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.
