Pros

Slack really cares about the people that work here. They do every effort to make sure that you are valued and comfortable in performing your job. The company has an amazing culture and collaborative way of working. The product itself helps with the process and the way things work inside the organization. I'm amazed by transparent communication at all levels and how management is involved and takes feedback very seriously.

Cons

Normal growing pains of a company that is so new and is disrupting the market.

Pros

The company has a very strong sense of values and culture that is felt thought out every interaction. Especially felt during the times of the pandemic, these values and the company's flexibility have made the transition to working from home one of the best experiences. The company really cares about their employees health and wellbeing as well as career advancement

Cons

Decisions are sometimes slow to be made, as it we tend to look for buy-in from all stake holders. Some of the time they are made on gut feel, rather than hard data which can be frustrating.

Pros

- I feel incredibly supported and empowered to do my best work here - Co-workers come from best in class sales organizations and are genuinely good, kind, compassionate people we can all learn from - Our tools, processes and workflows are modern and don't slow us down - Slack, the product, actually transforms the way companies work and it's enjoyable to sell - No internal email! - Targets are attainable and comp is top class - Never have I worked in a more diverse sales organization and culture really is our competitive advantage - Our offices are absolutely gorgeous with plenty of nooks to work from when it's focus time - TAM continues to grow, we have massive tailwinds and we're just getting started

Cons

- Our default to open and public can be a transition for some new hires - Slack on Slack can be overwhelming at first - Some days you feel the burden of being a comparatively young enterprise sales team with things yet to figure out - Typical post-IPO growth/scale pains around loosely defined career progression and enablement - Solving for the largest organizational challenges in collaboration with our customers means you actually have to solve hard problems. Coasting isn't an option here. - NYC office strategy still lags behind other hubs.
