      Company cares more about DEI than actual quality

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you don’t care most employees and managers don’t care either. Since the merger rest and vest is a way of life

      Cons

      If you are actually a qualified employee who values work ethic steer clear. They promote DEI above everything else. If your colleague is part of that collect them all set then their career is set even if their abilities are two levels below where their title says they should be. Females made up 25% of the engineering force but 50% of promotions one year, If you were not DEI they didn’t even consider you. Basically if you are looking to work with the best and brightest peoples you ever will in you career… steer clear you will be sadly disappointed.

      Used to be the greatest company

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Slack blew me away when I started back in 2020. The people, culture, leadership, the way the company used their own tool for internal communication — it was truly remarkable! There are lovely colleagues, the product is amazing and the brand is really strong. It’s normal that systems and processes change after acquisitions but Slack in particular seems to have a lot of issues adapting.

      Cons

      Things changed after the acquisition by salesforce. Slack the company itself but also sales and marketing teams go constantly through changes and you feel like you can’t catch up and do your job properly. Work-life-balance is becoming worse with leadership increasing pressure while not proving strategic guidance nor clear direction. Promotions in the international teams (outside US) are extremely rare and difficult to get. Growth opportunities are rare. Lack of coaching and support from leadership to develop your career — managers only do the bare minimum the company tells them to do with their directs on a quarterly basis
