Pros

- Unlike many other tech companies, Slack cares and treats its employees like human beings. - Super friendly culture, and the most diverse by far (people of multiple different backgrounds, ethnicities, nationalities, etc). - Generous compensation and benefits

Cons

so far, none that I can think of

Pros

- A rapidly growing business with ample space to solve new challenges - Transparency into company vision and direction from C-Suite - Diverse and inspiring team members with varied work and life experiences

Cons

Career progression at Slack is less linear than other companies I've worked at, it can be challenging to navigate promotion cycles or have calibration conversations that leave you with a clear understanding of what level you're operating at

Pros

Slack is a company that cares about their employees - full stop. The amount of support and resources we've gotten from company leadership, management, especially since COVID started, has been incredible. We care about our employees, customers, and the overall world. I am consistently challenged and work with some of the nicest, smartest, funniest people I've ever met. Plus, it never gets old hearing people say "Oh, you work at Slack? THE Slack? I LOVE SLACK! We use it all the time". Couldn't be more proud to have spent the last 4+ years working for this organization.

Cons

It's tech. We move fast and we don't always have the answers. I personally like that aspect of the industry for the most part, but it can be a challenge.
