I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
I had a recruiter call, followed by hiring manager call. Later I was given a take home coding challenge where I was given some data and asked to solve some questions
I gave him 2 perfect solutions to coding challenge using 2 different technologies.
And also had a follow up interview again with hiring manager.
But didn’t pass the interview. There was no proper explanation on the rejection.
I felt the hiring manager was Afraid of hiring me.
It felt like they are working with my employer and simply rejected me, after all the time waste they have done
