It was a pretty laid back process involving a phone screen, a coding challenge, and a six-panel virtual onsite interview. On-site interview was mainly chatting with the team, and was not too technical.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview process was great! My recruiter consistently kept me updated and my interviews felt more like conversations. I initially met with the hiring manager(s) first, then a panel of EA’s, then the executives I would be supporting, as well as other informed professionals. The interview questions were thoughtful and the entire process was so streamlined.
