Pros

- Surrounded by so many smart, kind, and genuine people - Strong career growth and tons of opportunity for projects (and stretch projects) - Feedback is inviting and welcome! I know feedback is always a tough subject and conversation to have, but Slack (and my team) has a culture of accepting feedback and I never feel bad for giving constructive feedback (though we take a very thoughtful approach). We are all looking for ways to improve and better work together. - Pay and benefits are very competitive (Slack will take care of you!) - Slack culture, philosophy, values are everything people look for in a company, I am very proud to work for Slack.

Cons

- Tough work/life balance (lots of challenging work, hard to balance the volume of work with the execution of quality - this is something I personally need to better control) - Need better structure and organization - as a growing company there is still foundation that needs to be built, but I imagine overtime this will improve.

Pros

I've been with Slack over a month and it's clear this company is led by an extraordinary CEO! A CEO who cares as much about people as he does the bottom line. His thought process trickles down throughout the leadership team and managers making Slack truly a wonderful place to work! Slack the product is an amazing product! While I used Slack at my previous employer, it wasn't near to the extent I'm now getting to use it. It's a product that truly makes work life simpler, while also adding in fun with all the emoji uses! Slack benefits are phenomenal! They have 3 health options in CA and that are 100% paid for by Slack for the employee AND the employee's dependents. This is a HUGE annual savings. They offer 20 paid vacation days, 10 paid sick days, 2 paid volunteer days, paid Company Shut Down days between Christmas and New Years and paid Holidays. They offer a cell phone and wellness stipend which are automatically added into your paychecks. Plus up to $1000 reimbursement to set up a home office and up to $2000 reimbursement for professional growth! Slack's pay is generous! They offer generous base salaries, annual bonuses and stock! A portion of your stock starts vesting at 12 months! Career opportunities also seem to be abundant at Slack. While Slack has over 2300+ remote employees (currently due to COVID), they have really mastered the "remote" workforce culture by having employees feel engaged without micro-management. I've feel blessed to have landed at Slack!

Cons

I have not come across a single "con".

Pros

The leadership team demonstrates integrity and leads by example. I'm proud to work at Slack and think that Stewart, Ali, Robby, and others have blown it own of the water in taking care of their workforce during COVID times. It's a human-first organization that isn't afraid to show up authentically and take care of each other. The work is engaging and we're navigating our growth well. Other things that are great: The benefits package is amazing, and compensation is competitive. Leadership encourages employees to take vacation to avoid burnout, and recruiting is very selective about hiring people that care about having lives outside of work. It makes for an interesting and well-rounded peer group.

Cons

If I had to think of something, there's an opportunity to improve clarity around career growth and promotions - but that will come as we mature as an organization.
