Great place to work

Pros

Slack is a great place to work. It is a fast paced hyper-growth startup, which is never easy, but the folks here genuinely focus on making it a great place to work for everyone. The pay is market rate, the benefits are fantastic (completely paid for medical/dental/vision for the entire family), and "work hard andn go home" is painted on the wall. The work is hard, the coworkers are smart and collaborative, the goals are clear, and you are encouraged to bring your whole self to work. Can't ask for more.

Cons

You have to create your own boundaries. If you don't then the amount of work to do will definitely take over your life. Most bosses support this and you can be successful without burning out.

Pros

-Culture, inclusive and feel like you have a voice that is heard -Slack is a sexy product, people LOVE using it and rely on it, plus the reputation we have out in the community is solid -No shortage of new things to build out process wise, projects to work, so many cool things you can do; you leave your workday feeling your impact on the company with the work you did. -Leadership; Stewart is SO awesome, he hangs out during gather hour or lunch sometimes and he chats with everyone and anyone, he is relatable, humble, and smart. He makes you feel excited to be here and be a part of what is in store for our future as a company. Slack has a heart and if you come here you will understand why people come to work here. It's nice to be somewhere where you feel the company aligns with your own personal beliefs too. -The future is BRIGHT, everyone who works here sincerely believes in this product and what else could happen with it - everyone who works here WANTS to be here.

Cons

-Same with one of the pros' - no shortage of work to do, so just pace yourself and do one thing at a time. -Growing fast, keeping the culture strong as we scale so fast
