I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom (Washington, DC) in Sep 2019
Interview
Long but active and thorough. I was able to speak to numerous collegues on the Slalom team to get a good perspective of the firm and the role I was applying for. The recruiter was highly communicative, so while the process took the span of a couple of weeks, none of it was "sitting around waiting" time. I spoke with the Recruiter on the phone, had another phone meeting with a People Manager, and then went to the office for an in-person interview. It sounded like two in-person appointments were standard but they worked with me to combine mine into one visit. Slalom does use Case Interviews. After the in-person, I had another call and one last in-person meeting with another People Manager. I felt like the recruiter was on my side the entire time. She helped prep me for each meeting, negotiated my terms on my behalf, but was also able to offer great insight into how to approach each meeting or step of the process. Overall, the interviews felt very conversational and casual, with some in-depth discussion about my expertise and skill set.

I interviewed at Slalom
Interview
For the first round of interviews for an internship position, it was heavily behavioral and experience-based. I was asked about past work experience, projects, accomplishments, and "tell me about a time when..." scenarios. Also questions about why I wanted to work at the company. Very straight-forward.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2022
Interview
Referred to recruiter by current employee. First had an informational call with my recruiter, which was a pretty standard phone screen! Then I had a 45-ish minute long Teams meeting with the recruiter, followed by another Teams meeting with a Principle, and finally a Teams meeting with a Sr Director. The whole process happened over about 3-4 weeks and every single person was very personable and informative.
