Pros
- Well resourced (tools, best practices, support, etc), but not so much that there's no room for impact.
- Great support for parents. We have amazing family forming benefits, fully paid parental leave, Slack channels for support, Cleo sessions, and other mental health/wellness benefits to support.
- With the pandemic, Slack has shown that we truly support our employees, not just with words, but with actions.
- Slack is seen as a model for the future of remote working
- Other companies look to Slack for our partnership with under served communities
- I love that we are partnering with organizations like Last Mile, Next Chapter, Raheem. We have strong ERG programs and DEB bleeds through most people and business conversations
- Rising Tides program gives mentorship opportunities for Black and Latinx employees at Slack
Cons
- Career ladders are built out, but they change often, so it can feel like a moving target.
- There could be better manager training and career coaching help for mid-level employees.
- We have a great high level strategy and plan for execution, but it can sometimes be unclear where we fit in to that picture if were not on Engineering or Sales.
