Pros

Slack blew me away when I started back in 2020. The people, culture, leadership, the way the company used their own tool for internal communication — it was truly remarkable! There are lovely colleagues, the product is amazing and the brand is really strong. It’s normal that systems and processes change after acquisitions but Slack in particular seems to have a lot of issues adapting.

Cons

Things changed after the acquisition by salesforce. Slack the company itself but also sales and marketing teams go constantly through changes and you feel like you can’t catch up and do your job properly. Work-life-balance is becoming worse with leadership increasing pressure while not proving strategic guidance nor clear direction. Promotions in the international teams (outside US) are extremely rare and difficult to get. Growth opportunities are rare. Lack of coaching and support from leadership to develop your career — managers only do the bare minimum the company tells them to do with their directs on a quarterly basis
