This process took 6 weeks, and looked like the below: 1) Call with Recruiter - Recruiter lays out details of the role, and asks questions around your experience and performance to determine if you're a good fit for the role 2) Call with Hiring Manager - Deeper dive into role expectations as well as understanding culture/personality fit for role and team/org, as well as more discussions on your experience *Prep for next interview with Recruiter* 3) Chronological Interview/Resume Deep Dive - Breakdown of your resume, all the way back to how you were when you were growing up. This is a mix of understanding what drives you/how you make decisions, as well as behavioral questions (e.g. tell me about a time when you were faced with X) - Using the STAR method to respond to these is a great way to approach! 4) Co-worker chat - Meet a teammate to better understand the role & learn more about eachother, as well as get a feel for the team and company culture *Prep for next interview with Recruiter) 5) Presentation - This is the big one! Part 1 is why they should hire you/why Slack, part 2 is a pitch of your current solution and part 3 is a mock discovery call for Slack. This is where your skillset really shines through as well as your time to really showcase why you are the right hire I received a verbal offer within 24 hours of interviewing, and a written offer within 48 hours after interviewing. Great process that allows you to meet various people at the company, and though it's time consuming, it was well worth it!

Recruiter reached out via LI a year ago, wasn't interested at the time. Year later when I was looking for a new role, reached back out and scheduled first round. Recruiter was absolutely amazing throughout the process, very communicative and prompt and always gave me good advice. Second and third round was with a manager who was newly moved over from Salesforce. Unfortunately like much of what you're reading here on Glassdoor, Slack is trying to incorporate Salesforce as much as possible through sales ops/upselling/pretty much everything, and that has changed the Slack culture as well. The manager I interviewed with clearly knew what she was doing, was well versed and a Salesforce OG, but at the same time I thought she was very hardcore and big tech-y. Which isn't a bad thing at all, but bringing that type of vibe and management style to smaller company like Slack will have its pros and cons. She grinded me a whole lot, and was one of the most difficult interviews I had, even going over 15 minutes each round. Final presentation was with the manager and a VP, where you had to prepare a powerpoint presentation of why they should choose you, and come up with template/prepare for a sample discovery call. I thought my discovery call/presentation went pretty well, but I messed up some objection handling. I did not end up getting the offer, but overall really enjoyed Slack's recruiting process, and it's no hard feelings as it wasn't meant to be. The recruiter and managers were all very kind, knew Slack top to bottom, had some worries about the Salesforce integration, but overall could not have asked for a better experience despite not getting the final offer.
