      Most amazing culture I've experienced professionally

      Pros

      I started at Slack remotely during Covid-19 which has been a very difficult time for everyone. With everything going on in the world I was very nervous about leaving the comforts of my old company where I had a long close relationships with my colleagues and trying to ramp and learn everything to be successful alone from my home virtually. Thank goodness I trusted my recruiter and new manager and took the leap. Since starting at Slack I have been in awe of the thoughtfulness, compassionate support, transparency, and authentic leadership at Slack. The culture makes me want to work harder and definitely makes me see a long future at Slack.

      Cons

      Being a rapidly growing company there are a lot of new projects and processes to learn all while I've been trying to learn the original processes while remotely onboarding. Thankfully due to Slack using Slack to its fullest ability as a "Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge" I always have the ability to find the answers to all of my questions as things evolve and change.

      Inside matches the outside

      Pros

      * What they say on the outside, they do on the inside * Actual empathy and caring for employees * Fast growing company * Care about their product and its effects on people, not just $$$ * Lots of good quality folks to work with * Always looking to improve employee experience - be place to do your best work

      Cons

      * Still a very San Francisco based company in operation (but improving) * Close to, but not yet profitable at time of writing * A bit senior+ level heavy. Need to encourage and develop & support more below senior roles.

      Best place to work, even from home!

      Pros

      - You work with awesome, like-minded and accepting people who are driven to succeed and help you succeed - Great company culture and perks - Even starting my job with Slack from home due to Covid-19, they have been very accommodating and have made me feel like a part of the team - Transparency across management - Challenging and productive work environment - Room for growth in your role, and into others roles - Managers who want you to thrive and exceed

      Cons

      - You'll have to work the odd weekend shift in this role (not often tho, and you get a day in lieu). This isn't a huge con - Not much else - Slack is the best!
