      Software Engineering Interview

      11 Oct 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      1. Phone screen with university recruiter 2. Coding challenge on Codility 3. Technical discussion (phone) with engineer Thought I did really well on the coding challenge, but got a boilerplate rejection on the next business day . Not sure why, they said no feedback. Frustrating because as college students we're here to learn about our weaknesses and improve upon them -- the interview process did exactly the opposite by not telling you anything.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Moderately difficult (unique) coding problems, solved using hashmaps and 2-D arrays.

      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2017

      Interview

      The interview process was smooth and fast. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and the questions asked were relevant to the role. The process consisted of an HR phone screen, a timed coding challenge, and a video call with the hiring manager.

      Question 1

      Q: What is the biggest non-technical lesson you learned from previous work experience?

      Software Engineering Interview

      23 Dec 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Rancho Cucamonga, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Slack (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      Contacted by a recruiter via email. There was a 30 minute phone chat with a recruiter that was not technical ((what's you're favorite thing about slack, tell me about yourself, etc)) After that you are emailed a link to a Codility challenge. The challenge was pretty easy so don't stress to much about it! One question asked you to convert seconds to hr:min:sec format. The others required more thought but yeah, they weren't outrageous. You have 2 hours to complete 3 questions. If you pass this, you go on to speak to a hiring manager. They will ask you more behavioral questions. It's described as a technical discussion. "What don't you like about slack?" I did not make it past this step but I've heard this is the last step. The process does not seem too hard and I will definitely be trying again in the future.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why slack? What is your favorite slack feature? Tell me about a challenge you have faced
