I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I had a phone interview with a recruiter, followed by a phone call with the Hiring Manager. After that, I had an onsite with the Hiring Manager and another recruiting manager. My final onsite was with a few Sales Managers, as well as some more folks from the Recruiting Team

What were your biggest accomplishments in your last role?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2021
Interview
Fast and Concise
One coordinator approached me first and got to know their open role. The process was quite fast. Got 2 calls by the hiring managers and then moved to the peer to peer interview. And the last one was with one of the hiring managers. People came across genuinely good people and professional.

Question 1
First round was quite general one talking about your overall experience. Second round, I was not asked directly about typical questions but got to explain about my strength and weakness naturally. Third one in the peer to peer one, I just talked about what I was doing in the current role. And in the last one with a sales manager, I tried to ask some relevant questions as if I was in the intake meeting.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Slack in Jun 2020
Interview
I had a recruiter screen, followed by a Zoom interview with the HM and then a final round Zoom w/ the remainder of the team. Overall it was about a 3 week process and I felt updated every step of the way!

Question 1
The questions were not just focused on my past experience, but really dug into how I work with a team, areas where I was looking to grow/develop and both wins and failures of my career. I felt the questions were really smart and took into account both what I could bring to the job and my potential to grow at Slack.
I had a call with a member of the recruiting team. It was a really great call, that went twice as long as scheduled. I was most disappointed to never receive any follow up message and just have my candidacy fade into oblivion. As a recruiter, I value this type of transparency from recruiting for candidates and found it very disappointing and unprofessional.
