Initial recruiter screen: probed a bit more than a typical recruiter screen. Asked me about five different times why I wanted to work for Slack, which I found strange. It felt like they were scoping for a "right" answer.

The recruiter said they would share my resume with hiring managers to see if there was interest. As the recruiter was internal (not third-party), I don't understand why this couldn't have been the first step in the process before potentially wasting both our time.

Phone screen with engineering manager: talked about past projects, soft technical questions, and why I want to work for Slack (again).

Homework assignment: reviewed some code with mistakes and left feedback. Left a bunch of comments, which took about two hours (I spent about an hour reading about best practices for things I was ambiguous about). Got rejected after a couple of days with no feedback.
