      Pros

      • Heavy Slack and light meeting culture - we use the product to keep team members abreast of key updates and coordinate everything quickly. It's really difficult to see myself working without using Slack so extensively. This product truly drives alignment. • My colleagues strongly exemplify company values: Smart, Humble, Collaborative and Hardworking. The team is full of folks who are both action oriented and highly empathetic and nurturing. • Transparency: All Hands meetings are thoughtfully designed to provide clarity on company objectives. • Work/Life Balance: We are encouraged to take time off thoughtfully and prioritize health and safety during this time of crisis.

      Cons

      • Typical growing pains...how do we best drive the company forward

      Slack Cares About its People!

      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.

      Best work of my career, best decision I've made professionally

      Pros

      - Surrounded by so many smart, kind, and genuine people - Strong career growth and tons of opportunity for projects (and stretch projects) - Feedback is inviting and welcome! I know feedback is always a tough subject and conversation to have, but Slack (and my team) has a culture of accepting feedback and I never feel bad for giving constructive feedback (though we take a very thoughtful approach). We are all looking for ways to improve and better work together. - Pay and benefits are very competitive (Slack will take care of you!) - Slack culture, philosophy, values are everything people look for in a company, I am very proud to work for Slack.

      Cons

      - Tough work/life balance (lots of challenging work, hard to balance the volume of work with the execution of quality - this is something I personally need to better control) - Need better structure and organization - as a growing company there is still foundation that needs to be built, but I imagine overtime this will improve.
