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.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process was very straight-forward. I first talked with HR over Zoom for a phone screening. Next was a written assessment and a 1-1 interview with the hiring manager. Next was a panel interview with another manager and team mate. My HR rep called me beforehand to help me prepare with different questions that they might ask.
