Great place to work on a game changing product

Pros

Compassion is at the heart of the company, both for its customers as well as its employees. Incredibly customer-centric, obsessing over the customers' experience and constantly dogfood-ing the product. Management is also always emphasizing work-life balance and encouraging employees to take time off for mental health. The perks are very generous (Since COVID, we get 1 Friday off a month for free!). Workplace is very collaborative; everyone is very willing to help out. Good vibes all around.

Cons

Because the company is quite young, there are a lot of re-orgs and I have had 4-5 manager changes in a 18 months.

Slack Response

Pros

I started working with Slack remotely during COVID and was surprise to see how smooth their remote onboarding process was, even though like every other company it was not a standard practice few months back. Co-workers are very helpful and respectful of each others views which as a new member made me feel comfortable. Leadership has been nothing but thoughtful during these weird times and the culture here is one of the best I have experienced. Teams are ready and eager to learn new things and find our new ways to improve the product.

Cons

Being a rapidly growing company project priorities keeps changing and you may have to jump to something more important at hands which is not that bad but might be frustrating for some people

Slack Response
