Pros

Good comp, wide name recognition, great benefits. Many competent people. Market leading product. Glassdoor pad

Cons

Too many parasites: people who are there to get paid Very political env: full of snow flaky people around you. You have to be very careful what you say to whom.

Slack Response

Not perfect, but a pretty great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

- Very collaborative culture - Friendly coworkers - Lots of talented people - Good compensation and benefits - Big focus on work life balance; the office empties out pretty quickly after 5

Cons

- Compared to most tech CEOs, Stewart isn't bad, but I don't think he's figured out how to be really effective at guiding an organization of our size. He still wants to micromanage. - We still write a lot of PhP - Slack is kind of behind the curve as far as using data

Nothing else I'd rather be selling!

Pros

I've been at Slack for almost 4 years and the thing that has kept me here is the product. My colleagues are a delight, but the best part of my job is talking to customers every day about a product I believe in wholeheartedly.

Cons

All the normal scaling pains and trade-offs. Nothing unique to Slack and better managed here than anywhere else I've been.
