Cool product but not cool place to work - Anonymous employee Slack Employee Review

-Fakeness in culture is starting to show. There is no explicit rule that you have to use emoji in messages or smile all the time, but your colleagues will judge you negatively if you don't. If you're having a bad day, be sure to add those emoji in your messages and fake a smile so no one knows you're human. -I've seen a lot of code. The code here is by far the worst -Opportunity to learn weird non industry standard practices -Weakest middle management -For a place that creates a product that allows working remotely easier, it's surprisingly frowned upon. They won't say anything, but they will judge you. -You tell your manager something that bothers you/something on your mind and there will be no action. You'll be lucky to hear back. -Compensation is on the lower side. Slack knows that it's Slack and people want to work here because of the hot product. They don't negotiate much because they know you want them more badly than they want you. (guilty)
