I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Slack in Oct 2018
Interview
Slack's process was one of the most in-depth I've experienced. They're extremely thorough in their review of your work history and ensuring that there's a cultural fit. Overall I had more than 10 scheduled interviews plus ongoing phone calls with the internal recruiter. Each conversation built on the last, and there was a clear path to the final decision.
They adopted a behavioral interview style, asking for examples of particular capabilities and attributes. With each meeting, I could see in the interviewer the enthusiasm, intelligence and humility that is so important to Slack's culture. While the questions were sometimes rigorous, the conversations were free-flowing and the team went out of their way to make me comfortable.

Question 1
Tell me about how you built the plan you're presenting? Who worked on it with you? How did you align all of the stakeholders across the business to this plan?
