I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom (Boston, MA) in Jan 2018
Interview
Had a connection (former supervisor) who, based on his position, helped expedite my round #1 of interviews. Process is extremely thorough and each interviewer has an 'angle' to probe and the follow-up is very detailed. No stone is left un-turned. As Peter Drucker famously said: "Culture eats Strategy for breakfast" and Slalom exemplifies this, so they really make sure there is a good cultural fit on top of the obvious skill-set matches for the role. Overall an outstanding process.

Other Practice Area Lead Interview Reviews for Slalom
I met with a variety of team members ranging in seniority over a 2 month period. Each interviewer asked similar questions related to my work experience. The process was rather clumsy and I got the impression they were more interested in cultural fit than testing for specific skills.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Slalom (Denver, CO) in Feb 2020
Interview
Went through a very thorough interview process that involved meeting with half a dozen leaders as well as presenting a case study to a panel. Enjoyed the process even though it was fairly lengthy (6 weeks).
