      The best of both worlds!

      Pros

      Slack operates like a start-up in many ways. You can have impact, make changes without bureaucracy, and work in a fast-paced environment. At the same time, Slack has the stability and work/life balance of a bigger company. I've been able to learn a ton during my time here.

      Cons

      We are definitely still figuring things out and building. Things are often ambiguous, and part of the fun is figuring out how to operate in ambiguous situations.

      Best job I've had

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - I've worked at companies with very smart people and I've worked at companies with very kind people. Slack is the first I've worked at where my peers are very much both. - Culture

      Cons

      - The growth of company has resulted in lots of restructuring and constant change, which in itself is not a bad thing, but is a source of stress.

      Good place to work overall, take bonus with a grain of salt

      Senior engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall this has been a good place to work. The company is growing, the product and teams are growing, so there's opportunity to take on challenging work of increasing scope and complexity. The senior leadership of the company is experienced and better than other places I've worked, and the new senior leadership hires all seem to be people with good backgrounds who I respect and think will level up the company. Work-life balance is extremely reasonable.

      Cons

      They tell you "here's the target bonus percentage," what they don't tell you is that there's also a company multiplier, which historically has never been 1. It seems based on rather optimistic stretch goals. Don't expect to get your full bonus amount.
