Slalom Consulting this might be a total long shot, but I recently finished the interview process with slalom and they gave me a *verbal* contingent offer for an incoming contract. However, I just found out I might have to relocate to Boston soon. I would love to stick with slalom as the goal company, but wondering if I could talk to the recruiter about transferring my application to the Boston office? Any advice? TY!
I don't feel like working today.

When will Slalom be bought out by [name of the company you currently work for]?
Why are you putting quotes around interview
D1: Because it's more of a conversation. Not an official interview. They are courting me.
That's how they work... haven't accomplished anything just converse 😉
I had a really bad experience with their recruiters lately. Very unprofessional.
A2: 5+, not comfortable sharing office
A2, each office definitely has different requirements.
There are no Slalom "Partners" (there are employee owners but people with any title can attain that). PAL? PAD? MD?
Fair warning: in my experience, Slalom recruiting takes a LONG time. There's a few reasons for this: 1) we really want to make sure there's a culture fit 2) resources count on the P&L at the office level. Offices tend to create a warm pipeline of high probability people, look at pipeline of work, and try to hire "just in time" whenever possible. It's not like A or D that have pools of hundreds or thousands to staff from; the pools as Slalom are 10-20 in a given office's practice.
I've had similar response as D2 with one recruiter but then she referred me to another office since they may have different requirements
@op be ready to answer the following
1. How you approach problem solving in your field. Maybe create a mental framework to walk them through. Make sure you explain the types of problem you can solve and industries you know. Give examples of those projecrs
2. Explain how you treat everyone well...give examples of doing stuff outside of the office with them
3. Maybe talk about mentoring more junior employees
4. Have a good reason for why you want to leave and why slalom. Dont make your primary reason that you want to stay local. Talk more about how you have heard that our culture is great...talk about what you have heard and some examples of where you have fit into cultures like ours
5. Ask questions
6. Smile, be friendly to everyone, make small talk. Laugh where possible
Thank you!!! SC2
Back to my original question, does anyone have any good questions to ask??
As how OE fits into Business Advisory Services and works with Delivery Leadership and Strategy & Operations
I'd also ask how much of their OE practice is direct business vs supporting other projects.
Same. Is it with their OE team?
A2: Yes
What's your # years experience if you don't mind me asking?
And which Slalom office?
@D2 I can pass on the anonymous feedback if you'd like.
