      Engineering Manager Interview

      21 Apr 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slack

      Interview

      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.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      I applied online and got an email saying that they respond back to every application within a week even if it's negative. It's been over 5 months and I still haven't gotten any communication from them. @Slack please update your default application response. I don't usually expect a response but you explicitly said that you would.

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      Phone Screen, On-site with 6 Panels. Engineer led Architecture Screen. Most of the panels had folks shadowing the interviews. Pretty standard engineering manager panels. Didn't get the impression they were using strict rubrics to evaluate candidates.
