I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Slack in Aug 2021
Interview
It takes forever to get an interview. You can have the exact needed experience, have used Slack in many previous positions so kind of know what to expect, and have a great personality....that will not get you to the final round or the job! Too many companies want people that don't get nervous in interviews, sound robotic, have no personality, etc. Obviously, I did not make the cut, but that just means Slack was not the company for me.

Question 1
This is Slack, why in the world are you asking the generalized "tell me about yourself"
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Vancouver, BC) in Aug 2022
Interview
The interview process was lengthy but very thorough. Everyone was very engaging and made it feel at ease. 1. Written Assignment (pre screening) - 5 situation/behavioral questions 2. Screening call with the Recruiter - Basic personal questions/requirements 3. 2nd call with the Recruiter - More detailed questions about the position/ what I am looking for in a job/company 4. Zoom meeting with the Manager - History/ Experiences / Expectations 5. Zoom meeting with 2 existing Team members - History/ General questions / Situation based questions 6. Wrap-up with the Manager and then ending with the Recruiter - Last questions/ expectations The recruiter has very helpful in explaining each step and providing assistance with what to expect next. Very impressed!
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.
