Slack reviews

Lots of change - I've had 3 bosses in 9 months. Hasn't had much of an impact on my day to day life, but it's a bit thrash-y. The way we use Slack can be overwhelming - I must be in 100 channels. I look forward to the day when are priorities are to make the product easier to use for Slack-centric companies. Sometimes the best way to get more work done is to turn off Slack.

- As I've seen other reviews mention, a lot of systems and data are really difficult to access or use. If you joined in the last 1-2 years (as so many have), you probably don't know where to find it. - Growing pains with processes, such as OKR processes that are rolled out without much direction on how to measure results consistently across teams! - If you are considering any role on the marketing team, think 10 times. That team has been rudderless and with many conflicting visions for too long. Even with a brand new CMO, things are going to take a *long* time to come around. There is a lot of politics, as people who were hired in leadership positions were hired when the company wanted SMB/consumer backgrounds. Most are less qualified for the company's current vision and enterprise focus. I think that team has had 2-3 re-orgs and team changes in the last 1 year. They just announced a big re-org and some good people are gone. The team and functions are so fragmented it's difficult to get any projects done smoothly if marketing is involved. Marketing leaders quite aware of these problems but it's clear they are more focused on what their roles are going to be in the new org rather than solving them. The relationship with sales has improved but marketing is still far from being a great (much less equal) partner to sales, product management, and other teams.
