Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Slack em dez. de 2019
Entrevista
Initial call with recruiter. Her questions were generic on program management and followup questions on my experience; shared about slack culture, team structure and hiring process.
The second round was with Hiring Manager - who was very friendly and cordial. I shared few examples of my program management skills; situational/behavioral questions; metrics
The third round was a take home exercise on program management.
Unfortunately, I did not make it past third round. Overall great experience talking to the team. The positive culture of slack reflected in the employee’s mindset when they spoke to me. Good luck to the team.

I interviewed right after their acquisition of Salesforce. My recruiter call went well. I shared with them my current salary, and mentioned I would be open to negotiate as I knew I was being paid well (especially for a smaller company). They canceled the hiring manager interview with VERY little notice, as they felt they "could not meet my salary expectations". This was very disappointing, because I appreciate slacks products, and the remote options they mentioned for the role and would have accepted an offer lower than my current (like i had mentioned)

Even though I didn't get an offer in the end, I couldn't love this company more. Interview rounds are pretty standard at what you’ll find at other technology driven companies:
1. Recruiter phone screen
2. 45min hiring manager interview
3. Take home assignment
4. "Onsite" panel consisting of 4 interviews (3 behavioral/situational, 1 system design) which are zoom calls at the moment due to COVID
5. Offer / No Offer
Never once did I have to follow up with the recruiter for next steps, she was exceptionally prompt with getting me feedback and scheduling the next round - I made it through all of the rounds and a decision in 4 weeks from applying. Each one of my interviewers were engaged, exceptionally smart in their craft, and I could tell that they wanted me to succeed. I thought the interview process as a whole was fair, fun and challenging - what more could you ask for?
My only critique is that fortunately or unfortunately, Slack is doing a ton of hiring right now and several of the interviewers had me clarify which role I was interviewing for and/or my past experience (that could have easily been found if they looked at my resume) because they're "doing a ton of interviewing right now". I totally get it and can empathize with how candidates might blend together in your head, especially if you're interviewing for multiple roles at a time, but I wish they had taken the 2 seconds to check that out before the calls so I didn't feel so un-unique.
