Stay away from Slalom Build if you're currently at a big tech company (e.g. FAANG). There seems to be very little they can offer that would justify the amount of time or effort to interview with them. You may end up getting a very low offer. An interviewer struggled with terminology to describe certain underrepresented groups and two of my interviewers admitted that the numbers could be better when it came to employee demographics. I interacted with one person of color throughout the process. Despite letting them know I had other offers on the table, it still took much longer than expected to get the onsite interview and the last call scheduled. My last call felt like they were trying to convince me that Slalom wasn't the right fit because they couldn't offer me a good salary or even good growth. They also acknowledged that I may come in under-leveled and if so, they could rectify that quickly, which wasn't exactly reassuring. I was ultimately offered a salary lower than my current role even though I shared my salary expectations early on in the process. They claimed they were expecting me to come in at a higher level. I quickly declined after that. High-level process (1) Call with a recruiter (30 minutes) (2) Technical screen (1 hour) (3) Onsite: Technical screen (1 hour) (4) Onsite: Behavioral (1 hour) (5) Onsite: Behavioral/functional (1 hour) (4) Call with a director (1 hour)

The whole interview process took about two weeks - Apply online - Phone call with HR - Phone technical screen (CS concepts, SQL queries, Object-oriented Design) - Panel interview (Coding, System Design, Behavioral, Management)
