      Good place, great people

      Technical program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Plenty of opportunity for growth. Leadership is close to the work, personable, and very human. Response to changes in the world are positive. Understanding of family needs, and monthly Friday company holiday have been nice.

      Cons

      Most people seem overworked. Political views and opinions find their way into conversations and internal comms often with strong liberal leanings, lending itself for an uncomfortable environment for conservatives, and libertarians. Alternative opinions get shut down with no consequence.

      Fantastic company to work and grow with

      Senior account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Innovative product Incredible team across organization - smart, dedicated, energized, fun Empathetic organization Overall Slack is a wonderful place to work, and I have absolutely loved my time here.

      Cons

      Growing organization that is still finding its way from smaller start-up to now a 2K+ public organization. Sometimes processes can be overly tedious, and can feel like there can be too much of a big company mentality, when we still have the ability to be nimble if we could focus on that.
