Work/Life balance with a product that works and users that love it

Pros

I've worked so many places where the product makes every position within the company feel like hell. Slack's product makes working there so easy and the culture and benefits around it make it even better. Work/life balance is the best I've ever had and I'm hoping this stays similar post acquisition. My teammates and those I work with cross-functionally are some of the smartest people I've ever met. Compensation also feels competitive across the board from what I've seen and the benefits, perks, and bonus opportunities are also great.

Cons

So far so good! I have given feedback on some of my experiences, but I feel as though it is actually heard and I wouldn't call any of these cons to working here. Come join us!
