      Pros

      Wonderful team, worked from home, creative and supportive coworkers, best and most fun game product ever

      Cons

      Sadly the online MMO is now defunct; that is the only con. Company now exists as Slack Technologies and is doing awesome things for business communications.

      Pros

      * Competitive Compensation & Benefits * Thorough interview process * Possibility for collaboration across teams / departments * Heavy use of Slack at Slack!

      Cons

      * Values are not lived, inclusion and diversity are mostly buzzwords without consideration of the real lived experience of minority groups or what true inclusion might look like * Strong internal censorship, messaging closely watched and criticised if seen as inappropriate or not towing the party-line * Focus on external image overwrites focus on wellbeing of employees at times * Very limited career opportunities in EMEA, centralised decision making from the US which impacts growth and opportunities in EMEA * New employees are specifically asked to provide Glassdoor reviews.

      Customer Experience

      Pros

      • Slack does Customer Experience right! We have a lot of freedom to do what is best for our users. This is a gem in the world of Customer Experience. • Great team and atmosphere, I work with a great lot of people, everyone's giving it 100%. • High-profile company, the product is amazing, and the benefits are very competitive.

      Cons

      • Don't be fooled by the no-blame, no-ego, we're-all-in-this-together approach. There is politics, like everywhere else. • The people at the very top of Customer Experience are control freaks. Their baby is growing up and they're having a hard time letting to. They are not receptive to disagreement, they get involved at a level they should not be and consistently undermine our managers. They don't know how to manage more structured organisation (or people it seems) and it can get messy and confusing.
