I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
1. Phone screen with university recruiter
2. Coding challenge on Codility
3. Technical discussion (phone) with engineer
Thought I did really well on the coding challenge, but got a boilerplate rejection on the next business day . Not sure why, they said no feedback. Frustrating because as college students we're here to learn about our weaknesses and improve upon them -- the interview process did exactly the opposite by not telling you anything.

Interview
The interview process was smooth and fast. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and the questions asked were relevant to the role. The process consisted of an HR phone screen, a timed coding challenge, and a video call with the hiring manager.

Question 1
Q: What is the biggest non-technical lesson you learned from previous work experience?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Recruiter screening, next week, screening with the "Hiring manager". How can you go from being an "assistant" to being head of the whole Localization department. I asked the "hiring manager" if she/he would feel threaten by bringing in someone under her/him with 20 years more professional experience. I guess... that question got me out of the race. I would not want to work with people like this. Young and insecure. Feeling they know it all. Typical millennial star up mentality not letting the Gen X professionals a real chance!

Question 1
Very cookie cutter millennial only, soft, and generic questions, e.g. What is something you would not do at work if you were asked to?
