I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slack
Interview
Applied online - received an e-mail a few days later to schedule the phone interview. Pretty standard in the set up. The actual interview was a joke - recruiter was 10 minutes late in calling and told me she had a hard stop after 20 minutes. She rushed through her part and her questions for me weren't clearly articulated. I had to ask lots of clarifying questions to make sure I understood what she was asking. I had no time for questions of my own. The interview felt like amateur hour and was a waste of time.

Question 1
it started 10 minutes late and was very rushed - tell me about your background, tell about a time when you_______ , why do you want to work at slack, etc... No time for me to ask questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Naas) in Dec 2019
Interview
Such a great efficient process even through the Christmas holidays. Alan was fantastic and kept me informed along the way. An extremely enjoyable process over all.
The process itself gives you an opportunity to reflect on your career and what you have learnt over the years which is not something I experienced in such dept in other interview processes.

Question 1
What would a previous manager say are your strengths and weaknesses
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
The process began with a recruiter screen, then moved onto a Manager 1:1 phone screen. After that, I conducted a chronological interview and the final round was a presentation. Slack's interview process is thorough and you should be prepared to talk about your work experience in great detail. I was very impressed with the recruiting process; they were quick to provide feedback and move me on to the next stage. The recruiter Mike was part recruiter/part guide, letting me know how I could improve through each round.
