      Went downhill after acquisition

      Staff software engineer - security
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Slack was great, but the acquisition caused changes that violated Slack’s core beliefs and values.

      Cons

      Slack no longer covers healthcare 100%, vacation time is tightly monitored, and management is overwhelmed and never knows what’s coming down the pipe from Salesforce.

      Great co-workers, chaotic environment

      Sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Awesome, friendly and collaborative co-workers - Product is great - Flexible culture (work from anywhere) - Work is fast-paced and you are given a lot of autonomy - Company is growing quickly - good career opportunities (e.g. 50% annual promotion rate in sales) - Good benefits aligned to Salesforce

      Cons

      - Working at Slack has felt like complete chaos since Salesforce acquisition. Employee experience has been terrible (tech issues, duplicated calendars & email accounts, compensation plan mistakes, etc). Lots of leaders have jumped ship resulting in a loss of institutional knowledge. - Working in Slack all day every day is exhausting and feels very reactive. Constant fire-fighting and extremely difficult to 'switch off' after hours - Salary bands and equity offerings decreased significantly post-acquisition making it difficult to attract & retail top talent. - Collaborating with Salesforce AEs is challenging but essential to meet large quotas.
