Slalom sucks. Was strung along to meet every interviewer, and was informed to expect an offer, yet nearly a year later (and 2 yrs since initial contact) not getting a response to any follow ups!

I had a phone interview with them, told them what type of work I was interested in doing (operations consulting, active problem solving, specific things in my industry) and what I wasn’t interested in (strictly Project Management). Everything went great and they ask me to come in for a face to face.

I get in the room and there is the same lady who phone screened me and her HR intern. The phone screen lady says “just so my intern could hear it, could you go over what we talked about on the phone”. So I do my elevator pitch again. She asks some follow up questions, I reiterated the “no PM” thing. Then I ask for more information about what they’re looking for and the recruiter answers:

“We’re looking to build out our Project Manager capability"

I left 15 minutes into the interview. What a waste of my day

Sometimes it isn’t you, it’s the client taking super long to move on time sensitive matters which unfortunately affects you. Had a similar problem when I was waiting for my clearance to go through

why lie and say you’re getting an offer though? And was getting some responsiveness that they were awaiting SOWs but now just silence.

I’d have to agree. This is a firm for a special audience. I wasn’t impressed. Their HR team is severely lacking

Which office? Also, unfortunately, recruiting is not the same thing as the company

SA1- of course but it’s the first representation of how they run their practice. First impression is kind of important

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?
