The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Slack (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Pretty straightforward process. Applied online then received an email-response project. Got an email following to set up a phone call with the recruiter and we chatted for about 30 minutes about things like why Slack, my experience, examples of customer interactions. After that I was contacted to schedule a call with the hiring manager and it was generally the same. This felt less formal than the recruiter call - was mainly asked questions about myself, what I look for in a team, etc. The hiring manager had nothing but positive things to say about my answers and how that aligns with his team. I received a generic email a couple days later that they didn't find a strong match with what they're looking for at the moment. Great and positive experience up to that point. This is understandable if an application is rejected from the start but I went through a project and two interviews. Maybe I expected more based on all the wonderful things I've heard about Slack but this was an extremely negative experience for me and a miss on their part.

Interview
The interview process was lengthy but very thorough. Everyone was very engaging and made it feel at ease. 1. Written Assignment (pre screening) - 5 situation/behavioral questions 2. Screening call with the Recruiter - Basic personal questions/requirements 3. 2nd call with the Recruiter - More detailed questions about the position/ what I am looking for in a job/company 4. Zoom meeting with the Manager - History/ Experiences / Expectations 5. Zoom meeting with 2 existing Team members - History/ General questions / Situation based questions 6. Wrap-up with the Manager and then ending with the Recruiter - Last questions/ expectations The recruiter has very helpful in explaining each step and providing assistance with what to expect next. Very impressed!
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process was very straight-forward. I first talked with HR over Zoom for a phone screening. Next was a written assessment and a 1-1 interview with the hiring manager. Next was a panel interview with another manager and team mate. My HR rep called me beforehand to help me prepare with different questions that they might ask.
