Business Outlook

Pros

- Slack has the potential to have a huge impact on how people work - Professional and experienced leadership - You will have opportunities to have a significant impact on the product/business

Cons

- Lots of hidden complexities make things hard - The policies at the company can be more rigid than needed IMO (though that's changing with support for remote work at least)

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Work-life balance is exceptional - Company culture is a great balance of being collegial and team-oriented, but without the groupthink and bureaucracy that slows down many other companies with "nice" cultures. - Very deliberate attention has been paid to the employee experience, starting from the CEO. This goes beyond the standard perks and freebies. Throughout the pandemic, the company has consistently shown a commitment to taking care of their employees and putting their money where their mouth is.

Cons

- Competitive pressure means that the company's long-term prosperity is far from guaranteed. - Advancement opportunities are more similar to a large, established company than you might expect for a young post-IPO company. This isn't a career rocket ship where high-performers can expect promotions every year or two.
