I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2017
Interview
The hiring and interview process was very efficient and all involved were communicative and helpful from the recruiting team to the hiring manager. I was impressed with how quickly the process went from the time I submitted my resume to the time I received the offer letter. The teams were professional, friendly, and welcoming, and I was excited to accept the offer!

I applied online. I interviewed at Slack (Vancouver, BC) in May 2017
Interview
Three-step interview process over the process of about three weeks. Essentially a get-to-know phone screen with the recruiter, a phone call with your prospective manager and then meeting the future prospective members of your team/people who you'd be working with.

Question 1
Who would you have dinner with dead or alive?
Why do you want to work for Slack?
What type of leadership style do you work best under?
Why do you want this position?
Extremely disorganized, poor choice of technical questions and a silly coding homework exercise they have you do that they barely look at and take interest in. Interviews ran into way more hiccups at all stages than excusable for a company of this size. As others have noted, DO NOT waste your time with the silly homework assignment and a company that doesnt respect candidates' time
