I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Slack
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me. We scheduled a call and it was great. She was super professional, friendly, and answered all my questions. Then I had a call with the hiring manager, who was driving while interviewing me. This really threw me off. I got a rejection email a day later.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Slack in Dec 2021
Interview
Started with the typical HR screening, then Interview with the hiring manager. After passing that, followed a Take away homework and completed the hiring round with 5 interviews with 4 different managers/directors.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Slack in Aug 2019
Interview
The interview process for this role was such a positive experience. I applied through an internal referral and a recruiter reached out to me within 2-3 days for a screener. When we got talking about the role and I gave her some background on what I do (walked her through my experiences, interests, etc). As we talked, we were able to figure out together that the role wasn't the best fit for me. Totally fine- it's a matchmaking process.
I want to emphasize how genuinely interested and compassionate she was. She clearly loves what she does, and is very good at it. I felt comfortable and heard. It was very refreshing, and reinforced my respect for the company. 10/10, would apply again.
