Best Place I've Ever Worked

Pros

Smart, engaged, hardworking and (most of all) empathetic colleagues. Management/executives truly listen to feedback and change how they act based on what their front line employees are seeing. Up to and including Stewart.

Cons

You will struggle here if you're not fungible/adaptable. We're still growing super quickly so you have to be ready for your org, team, and function to change and for processes to be constantly changed as we scale.

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)

Pros

The culture is amazing. It's everything you could hope for in an organisation and more. Right from the top, right from day one, you feel supported, you feel valued and you feel like you belong. The messages at all levels are consistent and show an incredible amount of passion and care for Slack, our customers and colleagues. Feel very lucky to work here!

Cons

Honestly, there are none so far. It's such a great place to work.
