Pros

The office is probably the only thing that is a pro

Cons

Everything else. They show that their employees matter through empathy, compassion and so on. Further they preach about these amazing values during the on boarding. But that's where it stops.

Pros

Slack has a beautiful office in San Francisco. Almost everyone there is very nice and wants to see you succeed. The perks are nice, especially the weekly massages.

Cons

I had 3 managers (4 if you count the time I had no manager) over ~6 months. The whiplash was disorienting and I couldn't focus or get my work done. My original manager was amazing, his replacement was bad (overcommitted, late to everything, bad listener) to the point that I quit. I miss my teammates but I don't miss him. Additionally, when I was leaving, I found that multiple coworkers had tried to transfer out to other teams at Slack and had been denied by the director of our department. IMO, that's unacceptable. The pay isn't great - relatively low base pay for a company their size plus a yearly bonus that the finance department threatens to take away at every all hands.
