I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Dublin, Dublin) in Jul 2021
Interview
I applied through the website and got an email from the recruiter after one day or two with a writing exercise that must be delivered within 48 hours. The recruiter called me after 1 day for a quick phone interview and said I was good to jump to the next stage.
I was interviewed by a Hiring Manager. He asked me 3 questions and then left the remaining time to ask him questions as well.
I heard from the recruiter after one day or two saying that the HM was happy with my interview and that I was in the final round.
The final round is a competency-based interview with 2 managers, 1 TL, and a written assessment.
I had a very positive experience with Slack as they respectfully follow-up in a timely manner and always set your expectations.
The recruiter provided constructive feedback to perform more successful next time. I felt very respected and valued by the whole team.

Interview
The interview process was very straight-forward. I first talked with HR over Zoom for a phone screening. Next was a written assessment and a 1-1 interview with the hiring manager. Next was a panel interview with another manager and team mate. My HR rep called me beforehand to help me prepare with different questions that they might ask.
