I’ve been in play with Slalom for 4 months now! They keep pushing the start date. Last I heard was to be this month, now basically Q4. Time to move on or should I hold on? I had great interviews but this candidate experience not so much.

I think the offer will stand whenever that market gets the green light to honor offer letters. We’re not laying anyone off but utilization is low in some markets and we’re not taking on anyone new until utilization returns. Do what’s right for your own career - no one would blame you for finding another role if the delay doesn’t work for you.

If it were me, I would interview elsewhere without telling Slalom. Renege on the offer if you line up something else more promising. All is fair if Slalom is just going to keep playing games with you.

Did you get an offer letter? They made me interview 5 times with a verbal commit but no actual offer letter 😭

Same boat. Verbal only and kept saying role is approved and on the plan and need to hire for. Then just keep pushing back using excuse of getting approvals from leadership.

They told me Q4 too. I'd recommend interviewing elsewhere for now. I don't blame them though since times are weird in the world. I think they just want to be sure whomever they bring on, can stay. They need to make sure the pipeline and numbers make sense.

Definitely don’t wait on them. They’ll play that game until they close a deal that they can staff you on. It could be a few days or a year.

I joined EY a year ago as a senior and am very fed up with my group.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
