Pros

Passionate and motivated employees that all believe the impact that Slack can have on its clients. The most progressive benefits I've seen - overall, and in regards to adjusting to the current environment. Great transparency from leadership and across the company. Once our customers understand the business value Slack can provide, they LOVE us, which is very rewarding.

Cons

Being a young company that has grown so fast, still developing more process efficiencies. Lots of constant change that can be challenging. Still defining more structured career paths, but huge push for personal and professional development of its employees.

Pros

Super smart and the kindest of humans to work alongside make my working life so pleasant. Slack works the way you would expect a company to work in 2020, fast, productive, value driven, passionate and undeniable belief in the product.

Cons

Slack is growing super fast and work output is high. This level of scaling in a distributed work environment might not be for everyone.
