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

Slack Response

Thank you so much for sharing a review of your time at Slack! Our Learning & Development team is amazing and we are so glad to hear your remote onboarding experience they designed went smoothly. We are thrilled to have you on board! -Slack

Pros

* What they say on the outside, they do on the inside * Actual empathy and caring for employees * Fast growing company * Care about their product and its effects on people, not just $$$ * Lots of good quality folks to work with * Always looking to improve employee experience - be place to do your best work

Cons

* Still a very San Francisco based company in operation (but improving) * Close to, but not yet profitable at time of writing * A bit senior+ level heavy. Need to encourage and develop & support more below senior roles.
