Pros

I started working with Slack remotely during COVID and was surprise to see how smooth their remote onboarding process was, even though like every other company it was not a standard practice few months back. Co-workers are very helpful and respectful of each others views which as a new member made me feel comfortable. Leadership has been nothing but thoughtful during these weird times and the culture here is one of the best I have experienced. Teams are ready and eager to learn new things and find our new ways to improve the product.

Cons

Being a rapidly growing company project priorities keeps changing and you may have to jump to something more important at hands which is not that bad but might be frustrating for some people

Pros

The best people you could ever hope to work alongside Very generous benefits and perks that are constantly evolving and improving Really challenging and fun problems to solve Dynamic, fast-paced and creative environment Embracing remote work and pivoting quickly with the changing environment Employee-centric culture - genuinely a company that understands that people matter most

Cons

We've grown fast, so that can make for some more friction than your typical steady/non-growth environment. Nothing that's insurmountable though and if you have an inclination for working through problems and assuming the best in others (which is quite easy to do here given the kind and thoughtful folks around you), then it's just part of the reality of working at a high growth SaaS company.
