Pros

• The work life balance is amazing. • The people are diverse, incredibly kind, empathetic, caring, and inclusive. • As an engineer, Slack gives you both the resources you need to do your job as well as the autonomy to discover, grow, and produce. • Slack takes a chance on non-traditional engineers, and it's paying off.

Cons

For me, there are no cons. I never want to leave Slack.

Pros

Great benefits, including but not limited to: Fitness reimbursement, commuter benefits, professional and personal development funds. Other perks, such as beautiful offices and well stocked kitchens. The company culture promotes hard work, integrity, and performance. The employee base is made up of all stars, so it's a good environment for those who want to learn and grow

Cons

The down side of such fast growth is that there is a lack of process in a lot of areas, including formal professional development programs. I suspect this will change over time.

Pros

-Amazing culture (fun, challenging, interesting, great learning environment) -Incredible product (we use it 24/7 and become experts on it. Everyone wants to learn about it!) -Great perks (generous gym/travel reimbursement, catered lunches, etc.) -High degree of interaction with senior decision makers (both internally and at customer accounts)

Cons

-Still working out some kinks with sales processes and tools- sales is still a relatively new role at Slack -Not the same level of support resources (SE's for example) that you have at similar companies
