Pros

I'm with Slack a little over 4 weeks now. My hiring and onboarding experience was excellent. The interview stages were quick, comprehensive and allowed me to reflect back on the work I had done. The Hiring manager was transparent at each stage, was happy to answer all questions and kept me in the loop at all times. Each interview stage was robust and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My onboarding was equally as comprehensive. We had two streams of learning. Self paced learning and "bootcamp" which was fun training. I was afforded the time to learn and gain institutional knowledge of the company before being expected to go out and start recruiting. I was given a "buddy" to show me the ropes and talk me through various procedures. I was able to shadow them while they did their work and was slowly but surely given more and more responsibility that I had the capacity to deal with. Both the hiring stage and onboarding stage were 5 stars and I can't think of anything I would change. I'm delighted to be working with Slack and look forward to my time here.

Cons

I have no cons at this time.

Pros

I have been working at the company for more than 2 years. 1. Great work. Challenging engineering problems 2. You should see the beauty with which some processes are implemented - I would in particular call out the incident handling process. It is probably the best amongst software industry 3. Intelligent and nice people. "No brilliant jerks" 4. The way Slack uses Slack creates an implicit documentation from the communication 5. Employee perks best in the class 6. Lots of growth opportunities. You can switch teams or roles if you are not happy with your current role. 7. Competitive salary

Cons

Not much that I can think of. I am really satisfied with my job. I feel challenged and enthusiastic in my work. (please note, this is still true after spending ~2 years at the company)
