      Strong product, downtrending culture

      Engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great product vision, inspiring CEO and founders, strong market, good work-life balance (varies a bit by department), cool and interesting problems to solve.

      Cons

      Several very poor management/organizational choices have been made in the past year, which has greatly diminished the company culture. This is especially prevalent at the senior/mid-manager level (along with a few notable executive hires as well). As a result, several departments have developed toxic cultures, leading to a host of employee departures. Attrition in the past few months has been particularly abysmal, with many key employees leaving or on their way out the door. While some of the turnover and change is normal for a fast-growing company, Slack's cultural issues go past anything most of us have seen in our careers.

      Love working at Slack!

      Customer experience agent

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Such an amazing team - everyone shows great empathy, courtesy and caring towards each other. Everyone gives 100% effort and is striving and working together to make the company the best it can be. There's still a sense of fun and humor throughout. The office and perks are pretty slick too!

      Cons

      Some minor growing pains, as to be expected with any start-up growing at this rate. Nothing particular of note for me though.
