I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Melbourne) in Mar 2018
Interview
The interview process at Slack was the most professional, respectful but thorough interview process I have been through in my career. Interviews started on time, feedback was given within agreed timeframe and the questioning gave me the best opportunity to put my best foot forward.

Question 1
Questions centered around providing examples of how I had delivered successful marketing programs and how these programs were measured.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slack
Interview
Was sought out by a recruiter, who was pretty inflexible with scheduling interviews around my full time job. Was eventually brought in for a first round in-person. Ended up being ghosted even after emailing in to check-in.

Question 1
What would your manager say you needed to work on?
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Very straightforward. 1. Quick chat with the HR. 2. Hiring manager and final 3. On-site - case study interview. How to describe the process? The most soulless and heartless hr process I have ever experienced. On the other hand, given all the hype, I thought it was good that they were very focused on asking important and tough questions without the "feel-good-type" of questions. For example, there was no question about "Why do you want to join Slack" or "why do you love superman" (typical startup questions). They were very professional and to the point. The problem was that it just fell flat. No feedback. No emotion. I even made a joke in the first phone interviews, but the interviewer just carried onto the next question w/ breathing. I'm actually suspecting now that I was interviewed by bots.
After the interview, I felt I didn't want to take the job.

Question 1
Mostly situational analysis. Focused on how to solve specific problems they're facing now - as they grow so fast.
