The interview process took a long time and as other reviewers have mentioned it was a bit erratic. There were long gaps with no communication followed by last-minute interview requests. Overall the interviews were less daunting than those for other tech companies. Most were 1:1 conversations, either over coffee or in an office. Over the course of all interviews, the questions broke down to being 25% personal (career goals, learning habits, etc.), 25% technical (experience, coding knowledge, architecture), and 50% business strategy and financial initiatives. After meeting with several people in different roles at the company, I still don't have a clear picture of what this company is looking for or how they operate. There was information provided by the recruiter and the website that was directly contradicted in later interviews. If I'd known the full expectations of the role early on, I doubt I would have continued interviewing as long as I did.

The interview process was comprised of only three meetings total, about an hour long each - initial one with recruiter, a technical one with my potential manager, and one with the head of technology department. The three people I interviewed with were all amazing, and that factor was what sold me on Slalom. My least favorite part about the interview was the technical portion, since it was all "quiz like" questions and there was no real chance to demonstrate my problem solving skills. I was also slightly surprised about the easiness and quickness of the interview process in general.
