Pros

Slack is fully invested in building a supportive workplace for anyone who is ready for their next challenge. As I'm returning to management after a long hiatus doing IC work, I've taken advantage of the chance to refresh my skills. My direct supervisor is a fantastic mentor, Slack is a truly transparent workplace, and the Learning & Development team offers a terrific and evolving curriculum to support leaders at every skill level. You really can do the best work of your life at Slack, which is incredibly rewarding.

Cons

Slack is a fast-growing company. That's exciting, but some teams are still polishing the rough edges off the internal services they provide.
