I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Slack
Interview
I applied cold. Recruiter contacted me to set up time via email. We had a 30 minute call, during which she asked to set up time for me with the hiring manager. I met for 45 minutes over the phone with the hiring manager. There was a 2-week lull before on-site time was scheduled. This was an interesting on-site. It's a chronological resume review for 75 minutes with the role's first and second line managers, who ask in depth questions about each role on your resume (past to present). After this, I was brought on-site again for a 60-minute panel with the hiring manager and a few of the role's key stakeholders, during which I presented a 25-minute GTM plan (IRL scenario from past work.. no extra work needed other than packaging and positioning for new audience). After this, I had a 30-minute "informal" phone discussion with the head of marketing, since she likes to get to know all late stage candidates for the team. During every stage, the recruiter was overly communicative and provided updates on where I stood with the team's consideration of me.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Slack (San Francisco, CA) in May 2018
Interview
After an initial call with a member of the recruiting team, I got a link to a take-home coding exercise with detailed instructions. The exercise felt very relevant to the role I was applying for and I felt like I was given plenty of time to work on it. Once my solution was reviewed and graded by Slack's engineering team, the next step was a call with the hiring manager. They were able to share more details about the day to day work in the specific team I would be joining. Finally, I was invited for an onsite interview where I talked to four members of the engineering team. The onsite consisted of both technical and non-technical interviews.

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.

Questions centered around providing examples of how I had delivered successful marketing programs and how these programs were measured.
