Anyone have experience with interviewing at Slalom? Recruiter reached out about an Emerge role about a month ago. I said from the beginning that I was open to travel but was not moving. They indicated this wouldn't be a prob. Go through all the interviews, including an interviewer asking what I needed to convince me to come on board. they were just there to close the deal. Phone call today indicated the director did not approve of remote and could I move. I assume this isn't normal?

I had a similar experience. I said I would travel for client visits, but at the end of the process they said if I worked on a client account in another city I’d have to move there for the duration of my time on the account.

I withdrew my candidacy and got a lot of shocked emails and calls saying they don’t have a lot of people withdraw. Not sure if it was an attempt at a guilt trip, but it was weird.

Same thing on my end! Talked about Cassio all travel but nothing was mentioned about moving until the offer stage.

There was some nonsense about how more senior or experienced roles needed to be onsite and not remote.

Imagine that would happen at critical juncture of business. That would be scary..

Oooh that's a terrible tactic to attract good talent and then hope they cave...woof.

Hmm I wonder if there's some contingency in terms of your experience or something they picked up on that they felt would be a riskier bet as a remote hire. So, let's say you were more junior and the role itself is technically able to be remote, but they think you'll benefit from some closer proximity to the team first/some face time when office is open. Possible? I'm sure you're a great candidate but that's the only thing I can think of, other than super shady tactics.

The recruited called after each interview saying the feedback had been nothing but positive. I have 20 yoe and while I'm not brilliant or without weak areas, I'm a pretty darn good generalist with depth in AWS infrastructure deployments. I have the AWS prof level SA cert and a track record of high performance and customer relationship awards, so I don't think that's it. That said, I could be wrong.
