I applied through a recruiter. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Slalom (Portland, OR) in Sep 2015
Interview
I got acquainted with Slalom about a year before I interviewed, via a series of informational interviews that culminated with meeting the recruiter. My formal interview consisted of three (back-to-back) 1-hour meetings with individuals in the practice I was interviewing with: a consultant manager/ solution principal, a client service partner and the head of the practice area. My interviewers conferred with each other between meetings and the offer was made by the recruiter directly following the last meeting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview was informal and conversational. Questions were mostly situational: describe how you handled a difficult project situation, describe how you handled a difficult client. etc. Because I came from a non-traditional background, I was also asked about my approach to day-to-day project management tasks.
I applied online. I interviewed at Slalom (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Relatively straight forward interview process, it included conversations with the recruiter -> senior consultant -> senior manager + case study -> Director.
Roughly took about 3 weeks in total, the second half was in-person at their SF downtown office location.

Question 1
Why consulting specifically, what about the experience of being client facing inetrests/excites you?
I applied online. I interviewed at Slalom (Scottsdale, AZ) in Mar 2021
Interview
I had interviewed for a consulting position out of the organization's Scottsdale office and was extremely impressed with the organization's recruitment and interview process. Interview outreach is initiated by HR, where skill assessment/role alignment is discussed, followed by subsequent rounds of conversational interviews take place, where background and behavioral questions are reviewed. Extremely impressed by management throughout (HR to BAS teams), and the culture seems to be second to none as focus is placed on balance (differing from other consulting orgs).
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom (Phoenix, AZ) in Sep 2019
Interview
Phone Screen, Followed by meeting with Director of Talent Acquisition, followed by meeting with 2 Principal level employees. Followed by an Offer via phone. Entire process took about 2 weeks
