      Most amazing culture I've experienced professionally

      Pros

      I started at Slack remotely during Covid-19 which has been a very difficult time for everyone. With everything going on in the world I was very nervous about leaving the comforts of my old company where I had a long close relationships with my colleagues and trying to ramp and learn everything to be successful alone from my home virtually. Thank goodness I trusted my recruiter and new manager and took the leap. Since starting at Slack I have been in awe of the thoughtfulness, compassionate support, transparency, and authentic leadership at Slack. The culture makes me want to work harder and definitely makes me see a long future at Slack.

      Cons

      Being a rapidly growing company there are a lot of new projects and processes to learn all while I've been trying to learn the original processes while remotely onboarding. Thankfully due to Slack using Slack to its fullest ability as a "Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge" I always have the ability to find the answers to all of my questions as things evolve and change.
