Pros

Below are just a few of the many reasons why Slack is an excellent company to work for: - Intelligent, but more importantly, empathetic people - Flexibility in choosing your work - Impactful projects - Excellent work-life balance - Solid compensation

Cons

None for me personally. Some people may not like the shift in culture as the company gets bigger, but this shift is essential if Slack wants to keep growing.

Pros

- Great culture, good benefits - Intelligent, friendly and motivated colleagues - Love my team and I enjoy going to work everyday - Company is pretty open and transparent - Management is supportive and easy to approach - Hyper growth - Office facilities is nice

Cons

The standard is high for everything, so expect long hours sometimes. I wish they serve lunch and dinner. Since everyone is working so hard, it'd be nice to not have to think about what to eat. People tend to skip meals when too focused on work.
