This interview process was long and incredibly thorough. They got the right people in the room at every stage, but I felt like senior management didn't trust their employees' ability to make decisions (my final stage was being interviewed by the grandbosses of everyone I had interviewed with). Over the course of 3 months, I went on-site 4 times, there were at least 2 weeks between each step, and I lost faith in the company. By the end, it seemed like there were a bunch of smart people tripping over themselves to look smart and I felt like the butt of a joke. I ran a number of recruiting processes parallel to this one. Even on the ones where I dropped out because I didn't think they had scoped the position correctly were run better. Ultimately, I did not get an offer, but a number of the team members reached out to me saying that they hoped I would get the chance to work there in the future. I have no doubt that Slack will continue to be a big deal, but without the excitement of being there pre-IPO, the company doesn't offer any more than other companies in the area. I accepted a different offer the same day they turned me down and because of a great interview process, I am excited to start there.
