      Technical Sourcer Interview

      2 Feb 2016
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      Fairly straight forward with a focus on your personal development. The recruiter on the initial call was friendly and asked pretty general questions regarding work background and what I want to do with next steps in my career. Easy going interview process and the onsite was focused on what I would want from Slack vs why Slack should take me in (very humble)

      Technical Sourcer Interview

      30 Aug 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (New York, NY) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      This was one of the more broken recruitment processes I've ever seen, which doesn't bode too well for the excitement of the organization. My initial screen was rescheduled 10 minutes beforehand because the recruiter forgot she was sick. Ok! Feel better! We reschedule for the following week and have a pretty good chat. She sets me up on a phone interview with the hiring manager for 2PM on a Tuesday. HM calls me and asks a question and I start to answer and she says "hold on hold on...I have a conflict. Can we do this at 4PM instead?". Sure, why not? 4PM rolls around...she doesn't call. Never calls back. I email the recruiter and she apologies and reschedules it for Thursday at 2PM. 10 minutes before the rescheduled interview I'm emailed by the recruiter that the HM is on maternity leave now so we have to reschedule with someone else. Whew chylde...what is going on in this office?? All these emergencies seem to happy 10 mins before I'm supposed to talk to anyone... ;) I'm knees deep invested in this but I mask my frustration and allow the reschedule for 2PM the following Tuesday. 3 minutes before the interview I get an email from the recruiter that the new hiring manager is out sick (????? whaaaat) so I'll be speaking with someone with the same position I'm interviewing for. He actually connects (Yes!! I'm in!!) and...he has no real questions. He was clearly thrown into this and is scatter brained, asking basic "what interests you about Slack?" and "what are you looking for in your career?" questions. The call lasts about 10 minutes and he's pretty mum trying to wrap it up and get me off the phone. Standard rejection email the next morning. All in all about 3 weeks of just being thrown around and maintaining a smile just hoping to join a product that I really admired until I saw how much the employees just generally don't care about anyone. What a mess, and a true embarrassment to any company's purpose of good candidate experience.
