The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (New York, NY)
Interview
The process was recruiter screen with light technical questions, main technical (two interviewers, not Leetcode-based), behavioural (life story style), system design. Technical questions were all relevant to Slack's product. Great experience.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slack in Feb 2022
Interview
My experience echoed a lot of the reviews on here. The hiring manager was distant and clearly not interested in actually interviewing me. They didn’t ask a single question about my experience. They actually didn’t ask a single question about anything, besides a couple placeholder technical questions. I had to awkwardly try to keep the conversation going, which was obviously going nowhere. A few days later I received an email from the recruiter letting me know they were not moving forward. I would not have moved forward, either, after this off putting interaction.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2022
Interview
I got through the recruiter phone screen, hiring manager interview and a second interview with the hiring manager and one other. The hiring manager was late, and the second interview was quite repetitive.
There was almost zero communication from the recruiter, I always had to follow up to hear back, and it would take several days to get a response. I was waiting 2 weeks after my last interview, I sent a follow up email and only got a response when the person who referred me contacted the recruiter. For a company all about communication there was a lack of communication throughout the whole process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions that started all the way back at why did you choose this degree, what was your favourite module, who was the lecturer.
Lots of detail needed for each role such as your past managers name, how they would describe you.
