I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom (New York, NY) in Jan 2012
Interview
Slalom opened its NYC office in late 2011. It is looking to double its staff in 2012. That means that they are aggressively interviewing Big 5 consultants in the NYC area.
Unfortunately the office (and its employees) are so new that the interview process is completely DISORGANIZED. This does not bode well for what it would have been like to work there. Slalom's foothold in NYC is very small thus tthey have a very light bench. They are unable to hire based on forecast thus they have more of a bodyshop mentality (i.e. scramble to fill roles as they sell projects).
Getting an interview is relatively easy. Culture is an important factor in terms of "fit". Interviews are conducted w/ MD's - pretty much your run of the mill consulting interview (situational discussion, deep dive into past experience highlighting key skills that they are looking for).
Getting inteview feedback is difficult. The post interview response time took several weeks. I felt this reflected poorly on their organization (especially when compared to other more established consulting companies).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me an example from your past work experience where you had to make a difficult decision.
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.
