Business Outlook
Pros
• The people - This is what attracted me to the company initially and it's what's kept me here for almost 6 years. Collaboration skills are considered crucial, and toxic lone wolves don't last long • The product - It's really fulfilling to work on something that so many people use and rely on. • Strong commitment to diversity and belonging, since the earliest days of the company - This is something that everyone cares about, from the CEO on down. There will always be work to do here, but we're doing it with a deep-seeded cultural commitment • Hard problems to solve - In Engineering, there is so much work to be done. We're reaching levels of scale that require novel solutions; off-the-shelf approaches won't work. Add to that adoption by the largest companies in the world, distributed across the globe, and it makes for some meaty projects
Cons
• If you aren't aligned with the culture, you will probably have a tough time here. Read the @SlackHQ Twitter account or slack.engineering blog to see some examples of the culture. If that's not for you, then it will be an uphill fight to find happiness here • It's a crucial service for most of our customers, so if something happens to impact that, it's priority number one to fix it. If you don't like being on pager rotation occasionally, steer clear • You can probably get higher base salaries elsewhere. If you don't think the stock has a lot of upside, then the numbers probably won't look that good to you.

Business Outlook
Pros
- Competitive salary - Interesting work with big competitors (Microsoft, Google, Facebook) - Inclusive culture (They walk the walk with ERG/smart coworkers/great people) - Great for resume - Amazing network of mentors
Cons
- Sales machine has kinks, you would think by now they would have one that is smooth sailing - lot's of changes. If you aren't comfortable with change, this isn't for you. - Can be difficult to move up in the organization depending on your role - might be an issue for some people who want that type of growth - It's a product-first organization, the sales org can sometimes feel like an after thought (I also see this as a pro since customers love us and I feel comfortable selling a product that actually works)
