I applied online. I interviewed at Slack in Oct 2022
Interview
The process started with an online assessment on Hackerrank, followed by a 45 minute competency-based interview. Super smooth process and helpful recruiters. The engineer who conducted competency-based interview was very engaging and helpful (didn't really feel like an interview).

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.
