The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Slack (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Pretty straightforward process. Applied online then received an email-response project. Got an email following to set up a phone call with the recruiter and we chatted for about 30 minutes about things like why Slack, my experience, examples of customer interactions. After that I was contacted to schedule a call with the hiring manager and it was generally the same. This felt less formal than the recruiter call - was mainly asked questions about myself, what I look for in a team, etc. The hiring manager had nothing but positive things to say about my answers and how that aligns with his team. I received a generic email a couple days later that they didn't find a strong match with what they're looking for at the moment. Great and positive experience up to that point. This is understandable if an application is rejected from the start but I went through a project and two interviews. Maybe I expected more based on all the wonderful things I've heard about Slack but this was an extremely negative experience for me and a miss on their part.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Dublin, Dublin) in Jun 2019
Interview
1. Writing Exercise -- The HR person send you an e-mail with situations that you would probably face in your daily basis work. You save the answers in PDF and upload on a platform
2. Phone call with HR -- General questions about your background, behaviour questions, why did you apply for this role, etc.
Unfortunately, I stopped at this stage.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Subject: A slash command to DM another user?
We're loving the direct messaging feature and think it would be great if you
added a slash command so we could start those directly from our keyboard!
Thanks
Factual Information: This option already exists. They should be able to open
a direct message with a teammate by using the /dm or /msg command.
Subject: Switching other users' usernames
For a while, there was an option where I was able to manually change the
usernames of other people that joined the team. Was this edit tool removed?
If not, what are the steps that I need to do so I can edit names as the team
owner?
Factual Information: Team owners being able to change their teammates'
usernames is a feature for teams on paid plans, but a longstanding bug
allowed a number of teams to use this feature on the Free plan. We've fixed
this error now, so this person will have to upgrade to a paid plan to regain
access to this functionality.
