it was a short interview, with basic behavioral questions and questions about the company. it is a much newer internship, but the interviewer answered my questions the best she could.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Slack
Interview
Got a referral from a friend at slack, they took almost a month to get the process started. The first step is a call with a recruiter where they ask you about your experience and why you want to work with Slack. The recruiter kept on asking me again and again on as to why I want to join slack. The next round was with hiring manager, felt like I was talking with a robot, was told it would be casual talk about my experience, instead, I got STAR based questions which threw me off, she would often interrupt me and would not let me finish my question. I also got a system design question.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (New York, NY) in Feb 2020
Interview
Be prepared for a lot of steps in the interview process! For me it was two conversations with the recruiter, then a chat with a hiring manager, then a mock discovery call, then an in-person interview and finally a presentation. Personally it felt a little long given that it took a month in total, but the team was very friendly and supportive throughout.
