Pros

Game changing technology and massive market opportunity ahead - We're 1% penetrated in a 700 million knowledge worker market. Unique culture that emphasizes customer and team first. Great opportunity for career growth: A colleague was promoted to manager role and many others have been promoted into Senior AE roles. Achieved some great milestones in 2017 including landing Large Enterprise logos that few 4 year old companies can boast about: IBM, Oracle, SAP, American Express, Capital One, eBay, Paypal, Walmart. Best parts about working at Slack: Being surround by intelligent, empathetic teammates, helping effect a fundamental change in how people use technology to get work done, exciting personal career growth and earnings opportunities, and visionary leadership from Stewart Butterfield who has surrounded himself with an impressive executive team.

Cons

The sales organization still comprises a smaller percentage of the total employees, so developing a strong voice/seat at the table with larger product and engineering organization has taken time. I've seen positive changes over the last year here so I anticipate progress will continue to improve.
