Pros

Truly value diversity, good work life balance, low egos, very good but not fantastic benefits, everyone tries to abide by the values: smart, humble, hardworking and collaborative. I've been at 5+ tech companies and Slack has one of the best cultures I've seen. I genuinely like everyone on my team and everyone I've met at Slack outside of my team. Everyone is willing to pitch in and help with things.

Cons

Since they only use Slack to work it can be difficult to find information you're looking for sometimes.

Pros

Sales reps at Slack are collaborative, helpful, and want you as well as your team to succeed! Quotas are fair, comp is in line, and management cares about you outside of your quota! They want you to be the best version of yourself in and out of the workplace.

Cons

Fast growing so be ready to give feedback, be flexible and move quickly. Structure is changing as most fast growing companies.

Pros

Over the last few years I have seen Slack's senior leadership continue to make significant investments in the Customer Success Org. These investments have allowed us hire strong leaders and ICs away from some of the best SaaS companies and consulting firms in the world -- Salesforce, IBM, Google, Accenture, Deloitte.. the list goes on. One of the most gratifying things about working in CS at Slack is that our team has a material, measurable impact on revenue growth. We are recognized not just by our own department heads, but by our CEO and executive team for the work that we do and the impact that we have on driving mature usage of our product. Beyond that, the people here are truly great - smart and driven, but also human. This isn't just in CS, but x-functional teams that we work with as well. There is a genuine camaraderie that exists across the whole org, and it makes coming into work fun.

Cons

The team has grown a ton, so the usual growing pains. Nothing that isn't expected when you're in hyper growth mode.
