      Close Knit and Collaborative Teams, Working on Improving Processes

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I'm working with some of the most talented people in the industry, who have a strong sense of maturity and collaboration, not just in my immediate team but cross functionally as well. I love that we don't sit in silos and that so many people across different teams make an effort to get to know each other and help each other. This is the first place I've worked at where people want to work together to solve problems and not just try to put their own stamp on something. More broadly, Slack as a whole has a strong sense of empathy when it comes to working with each other. We celebrate each others wins and encourage each other to do our best work in a very constructive way. I also value the energy this company puts into designing learning and development programs so I not only feel I can continue to learn in my own role, but also learn in areas that I don't have experience with and explore various career paths.

      Cons

      I would say these things are more of a "work-in-progress" than a "Con." Things move quickly but our processes sometimes can't keep up (specific to recruiting). We're working on making things more consistent, streamlined, and efficient but it'll take some time to get there. However, this is the case with most tech companies who are hiring at a fast pace.

      Pros

      The people at Slack are bright, driven and amazingly kind. I have only been with Slack a few months, but instantly felt part of the team and can clearly see where I can add value to the organization.

      Cons

      The down side of being so nice, is that sometime people have a hard time giving critical feedback, but the good news is they recognize this and are working to improve leadership and IC skills around this. The other thing we need to do better as a company is enable our customers better. I used Slack before joining Slack, but had no idea I was only using 5% of it's capabilities. Now that I am here I can't imagine working without Slack as a central part of how I do my job and we have to show this to our customers.
