I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Slack
Interview
Initial with Technical Recruiter, I have never had such a disingenius experience. Followed up with a canned rejection email. I highly suggest leading with empathy. Slack has a long way to go and needs to hire better recruiters

Question 1
can't even remember was too baffled by the tone of the arrogant interviewer.
First round interview was a phone call with recruiter. There were basic questions regarding behaviorals and social media knowledge such as metrics and trends. Recruiter was very nice and personable.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slack in May 2021
Interview
Interview consisted of first round of phone screening from HR asking & then and then a 60 to 90 minutes of 1 to 1 interview with the engineering manager which involved in-depth discussion on various scenario based questions like what have you done when a bug was introduced to prod by you & what did you do to make sure you/ team doesn't do the same mistake again.
All the interviewers involved very prompt & friendly during the process in calls and over the mail.
