Pros

-Amazing culture (fun, challenging, interesting, great learning environment) -Incredible product (we use it 24/7 and become experts on it. Everyone wants to learn about it!) -Great perks (generous gym/travel reimbursement, catered lunches, etc.) -High degree of interaction with senior decision makers (both internally and at customer accounts)

Cons

-Still working out some kinks with sales processes and tools- sales is still a relatively new role at Slack -Not the same level of support resources (SE's for example) that you have at similar companies

Pros

Below are just a few of the many reasons why Slack is an excellent company to work for: - Intelligent, but more importantly, empathetic people - Flexibility in choosing your work - Impactful projects - Excellent work-life balance - Solid compensation

Cons

None for me personally. Some people may not like the shift in culture as the company gets bigger, but this shift is essential if Slack wants to keep growing.

Pros

- Great culture, good benefits - Intelligent, friendly and motivated colleagues - Love my team and I enjoy going to work everyday - Company is pretty open and transparent - Management is supportive and easy to approach - Hyper growth - Office facilities is nice

Cons

The standard is high for everything, so expect long hours sometimes. I wish they serve lunch and dinner. Since everyone is working so hard, it'd be nice to not have to think about what to eat. People tend to skip meals when too focused on work.
