I had the following:
Recruiter call
Hiring manager call
Take home case
Onsite interview
After the onsite interview, the recruiter never got back. I understand if they decided to not move forward with me but some feedback would have been appreciated as I spent time and energy into the process. This is not the type of behavior you expect from a company like Slack, especially in Bay Area.
The interactions with the hiring manager were also very passive and not welcoming at all. I don’t think I would have taken up the role even if I had made it through.
Overall impressions - maybe it was just this recruiter and hiring manager. Maybe it is a general trend in Slack. Not sure. However, mistreating potential employees is never a good idea.
