      A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

      Customer experience agent
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are friendly and supportive, available to answer questions, decent pay.

      Cons

      Slack disguises itself as a great place to work, but beware because there's a lot of fake personalities. The company itself has shot itself in the foot by making it harder to do your job with all of the little details and mindless features, management expects you to put on a fake persona and email customers as if you're writing a long love letter to them. They spend too much time wanting you to like them and their product so much that they miss the point of actually listening to feedback from internal teams and customers alike.

      5 Stars pre-acquisition, but the experience under Salesforce has declined significantly

      Internal communications specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Decent pay (Far better compensation when Slack was independent) - Unlimited Pay - Excellent WLB - Slack-specific (not Salesforce) is phenomenal. Everyone is so unbelievably kind. - World-class product with a ton of potential for growth

      Cons

      - Overbearing, less than stellar Salesforce culture - A ton of uncertainty regarding the company's goals/direction under Salesforce - The combination of layoffs and attrition has lead to A TON of incredible talent leaving and leading to significant loss in cultural and institutional knowledge Ultimately Slack went from being a phenomenal place to work to just ok which is truly a shame. It's still a good enough place to work but it's never going to be what it was pre-Salesforce acquisition.
