I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Slack
Interview
Was referred by an employee I had worked closely with at a previous company. The recruiter set up a call and opened with, "So, what do you want to know?" and left it to me to ask questions of him. A fairly odd phone screen. Received a generic pass email a few weeks later.
It is a well laid out process and detailed too. Flexible yet challenging. Multiple rounds and each one if a qualifying round. Hiring manager and Tech leadership most strenuous. Overall great

Interview
I believe I was discriminated against based on my disability status. If you have any disabilities, please don't disclose it to this company if you want a chance to work there. I'm deeply disappointed, as it is illegal and demoralizing. I would never work for this company!
