I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Slalom (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2018
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. I had applied for a position on Slalom's website, but I think the LinkedIn email was independent of that. I expressed my interest and a call was set up with another recruiter. That call was the usual HR call, where I was told about the role and responsibilities and was asked if I would be okay to proceed. A few days later, a call with one of the Solution Principals was scheduled. During that call, I gave a brief introduction and was asked a few details about my work and some general Data Engineering technical questions. Nothing too difficult. A few hours after the call, the recruiter called and said they'd like me to come on-site for an interview. I scheduled one for the very next day, with her help. I was to meet 3 people - one would build up on the technical phone call and would involve some whiteboarding, and the other two would be a bit more generic and relate to consulting with clients and how one would deal with them etc. The questions asked were not too difficult and by the end, I walked out with a verbal job offer and a big smile on my face. Slalom is definitely the fastest company I've ever worked with, and I look forward to working there.
