Whole thing feels automated. Automated email asking for availability...
Scheduled a call with recruiter and right off the bat he sounded miserable and just not loving their job or anything. No reactions or interesting questions. Couldn’t answer my questions about slack as a whole,
I know from the start when an interviewer sounds boring and miserable I don’t even want to work there
Sent a thank you email, couple days later I get a clearly automated rejection email that’s posing like the recruiter wrote it and it mentions things that didn’t even happen like the team was impressed with me. Huh, what team I didn’t meet anyone besides a recruiter on a boring short call.
The rejection email had a no reply address but I knew the recruiters email address so I decided to send an acknowledgement for letting me know... and guess what what? They’re out of office so the whole thing is just auto generated hahaha
It was a long process with several interviews. I think I went through about 6 different interviews. It wasn't too bad but we didn't get to discussing compensation until the very last interview although I brought it up several times.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slack (Denver, CO) in Nov 2021
Interview
About a month after applying through LinkedIn I received an email from a recruiter, requesting I write up some replies to a few customer/work experience questions. After that step I moved onto scheduling a 30 minute phone interview. The recruiter asked my availability for the next two days (not much advance notice). They had very limited availability themselves and didn't respond to my email until the dates they asked about had already passed by with no response. About 2 weeks later we got the call scheduled and the recruiter did not even call me. The whole experience was very unprofessional and not respectful of my time at all.
