So I had 5 interviews with different North American teams, covering team fit and technical stuff. Honestly, it felt like a total waste of time because the main hiring team never even interviewed me. I kept getting passed around to these regional teams, and even though I did great in all those chats and they were all good people, after I accepted a conditional offer, I finally met the team I'd be working with. What was supposed to be a casual lunch turned out to be another 'interview' post-offer! The job I was set to start is now being advertised again. My guess is the technical lead felt threatened, but who knows. Definitely a big red flag for me. I wouldn't recommend this company, either for business or as an employer.

So I got a call from a recruiter. After the initial technical interview, they told me my skills didn't really match. But they decided to keep going with the interviews anyway (which felt like a big red flag). I ended up going through 5 more rounds of interviews, and in the end, they said they didn't have a suitable role for me right now. It was a huge waste of my time, especially since they knew my profile wasn't a good fit but still scheduled 6 interviews. Definitely a really bad experience.

A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn. Since the timing was good and the message caught my eye, I replied. I ended up speaking with the recruiter either the same day or the next morning. The first onsite interview was scheduled really fast, within a day or two. It was with the hiring manager and a technical person. Unlike other interviews, the hiring manager seemed genuinely interested in what I was looking for in my career, and we chatted for way longer than planned. I then had a second round of interviews, one of which included the local executive. Again, everyone was friendly, and it felt more like a two-way conversation to see if it was a good fit for both of us, rather than just a Q&A. Slalom really values culture fit, so that's a major part of their interview process.
