Overall experience was quite good for a pre IPO company on a hiring spree in a competitive market. Applied online and received the call within a few days. The recruiter provided a good overview of expectations for the role and also asked some actual management questions for vetting. Went quiet for a month after that and I reached out to them again. Got immediate response from recruiter and was set up with a call with HM within a few days. Call with HM went very well - honestly one of the best interview experiences for me. Was called in for onsite the following week. I thought the onsite went quite well as well, consisted of 8 member panel of directors, senior managers, senior eng and recruiter. Questions were well crafted, nothing out of the ordinary, interviewers took lots of notes !! Slack is VERY focused on hiring people who keep things human and empathetic, which explains the high satisfaction ratings from employees. My take on EM aligned nicely with their expectations. Got the call from recruiter two days later that things went well and feedback with be sent to hiring committee. Had to wait two days to hear back from HC and offer was made the following day.

The process started with an initial phone screen by the recruiter, followed by a discussion with the hiring manager. The last step was a 4.5 hour interview with various senior members of the team and an engineering team
