      Pros

      I've been at Slack for a year and I have to say, it's been one of the best! It's incredible working for a Company who values their employees as much as Slack. Plus, Customers love the product and are wonderful to work with! It's a very fast paced environment full of change, so the opportunities to have impact and to grow are huge.

      Cons

      Nothing really stands out except the usual growing pains of a hyper growth company. Processes and procedures change quite a bit, so you just have to be in a change mindset.

      Fantastic vision and place to work

      Customer success manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Shared excitement and vision for the future of work. Really transparent organization!

      Cons

      Lots of transition and kinks to work out as we've gotten larger very quickly. However leadership is aware of it and focused on what matters - employees and the bottom line (in that order).

      The best company I've worked for, but not without flaws

      Staff engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The people are not only talented, but among the most thoughtful, inquisitive, and kind I've had the privilege of working with - There's True Belief in the product and its ability to change the way people work, backed up by customer testimonials - A support-focused culture that takes joy in delighting people in small ways: responding to tweets with a bug fix ready, a topical gif, etc. - Clever, pragmatic executives that are engaged and understand the product deeply - One of the most racially diverse tech companies in San Francisco; very liberal, with a social justice bent - Very little churn at the employee and executive levels

      Cons

      - In its race to become a Serious Enterprise Business, it's starting to lose some of the whimsy and quirkiness that got it to where it is. - Those acclimated to a data-driven, CS Fundamentals Engineering culture will find things a little lax here; pragmatism is the law of the land and some shortcuts have been taken. - Ratio of junior to senior engineers is higher here than elsewhere, resulting in ample stress for the senior engineers as they try to manage technical debt. For the juniors, the result is fewer opportunities for mentorship and a feeling of floundering without a life vest. - The "no whiteboards" interview policy is great, but sometimes translates to a "no technical challenges" interview depending on the panel, and that can (and has) lowered the bar.
