      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * What they say on the outside, they do on the inside * Actual empathy and caring for employees * Fast growing company * Care about their product and its effects on people, not just $$$ * Lots of good quality folks to work with * Always looking to improve employee experience - be place to do your best work

      Cons

      * Still a very San Francisco based company in operation (but improving) * Close to, but not yet profitable at time of writing * A bit senior+ level heavy. Need to encourage and develop & support more below senior roles.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Slack is an amazing company that cares for people and customers. - CEO, CTO and all other executives are awesome. They always take care of the employees. Especially during COVID19 crisis, all executives showed a great character, allowed employees to settle down and adjust to the new situation and made sure work-life balance is maintained even when people are always staying at home. - Some perks offered during COVID19 crisis : Flexible working hours, $1000 stipend to buy WFH equipments, special time off for emergencies and permanent (optional) remote work.

      Cons

      Stiff competition from Microsoft Teams.
