Pros

• Incredible staff. Kind and supportive. In my experience, anything else is simply not tolerated. • Amazing leadership. Our senior leaders have earned the trust and respect of our employee base by practicing what they preach, both in assuming best intent, and espousing social values that align with our company vision. • Pre-covid, incredible facilities and ample opportunity for socialization. • Not an overtime culture. It is abnormal to stay late working at the office.

Cons

• Very heavy on the warm fuzzies. In the balancing act of "support your people" and "run a business," we can tend to err too far on the "support your people" side that it can put a wrench in operations.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review! We are so happy you find the people and product here to be top notch! We certainly miss being in the office and seeing our co-workers' friendly faces, but it has also been fun to utilize our own product to stay productive and connected :) Thank you for providing the feedback that our 'warm fuzzies' can occasionally slow things down. It is a goal of ours to put people first and achieve operational excellence at the same time, so this is helpful feedback to have!

Slack values its employees

Pros

Slack is such a great place to work because of the people all at levels. We're really a team that values collaboration, teamwork, and hardwork. Slack also has seven Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to help in building community, engagement, and belonging which I really appreciate. In terms of career growth, there are opportunities to learn and try new things, and our leaders embrace space to take risks and think outside the box.

Cons

I've seen Slack grow a lot these last two years - building more scalable processes is an area of improvement, although different teams are working on this currently.
