Multiple interviews with recruiters. It was hit or miss, an overall negative experience with a broken career website and lack of follow-up.
My first screening interview was in person in Seattle for Slalom Build, an internal group that outsources work from their customers, as opposed to staff augmentation at the customer site. The interviewer was professional, thorough, and friendly. We visited the Slalom Build facility during the screening interview. I was impressed. This was in 2018. I eventually chose not to pursue and did not go through the full interview loop.
The first interaction was positive, but the following was not.
I tried to apply to a different position shortly after through their website. It crashed. I could not complete my application fully. Part of it was already recorded, with no way to update the missing part. I contacted the support team, to no avail.
Fast forward to January 2021. A different recruiter reached out to me. I was actually interested and wanted to engage further. I did not hear back from him, although he was the one initiating the discussion.
I believe the company is good, but my personal experience trying to get hired has been frustrating.
The screening interview was in-depth and covered career goals, a breakdown of the two roles I could be a fit for, as well as culture fit.
