Pros

People genuinely care, are kind, hard-working, incredibly smart. We use our product in a unique way. Stewart and the exec team provide great leadership, especially through this trying time of a global pandemic. The company takes care of their employees, allowing for unlimited emergency time off and other flexibility. Benefits in general are excellent, family forming, work from home office stipend, professional development, etc. The response to the Black Lives Matter movement has been stellar, and I'm very proud of the Last Mile program and to work with Next Chapter employees.

Cons

There is so much going on, it's hard to feel like there is clear direction on prioritization across teams when conflicts arise.

Pros

1. My coworkers are very supportive 2. So much greenfield in lots of areas of the product 3. A ton of work to be done 4. You work on a product many people love 5. Company benefits are the best I've ever had 6. I've been consistently busy/working hard since I joined 7. Lots of career growth opportunities 8. Lots of grass-roots efforts to improve overall code quality 9. We work hard, and then go home. You can hear crickets (not literally) in our Slack workspace overnight. Work-life balance really exists here.

Cons

1. Lots of engineers, not enough product managers or designers to unblock engineering's work so they are sometimes a bottle neck 2. The process of assigning work to engineers is not a well-oiled machine 3. Not a lot of process in general, which leads to inefficiencies

Pros

• The work life balance is amazing. • The people are diverse, incredibly kind, empathetic, caring, and inclusive. • As an engineer, Slack gives you both the resources you need to do your job as well as the autonomy to discover, grow, and produce. • Slack takes a chance on non-traditional engineers, and it's paying off.

Cons

For me, there are no cons. I never want to leave Slack.
