Values sound good on paper but are just for show

People manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Comfortable accommodations and benefits, useful product, smart coworkers (while they last)

Cons

Values are for display purposes only. Commitment to inclusion is shallow. The nail that stands up is hammered down. Sr Leadership are insecure and do not tolerate challenge, strong vision, or actual proactive improvements. Work-life balance is rapidly decreasing. Leaders are trying to squeeze blood from stones. Product is rapidly becoming unreliable and customer good-will being burned. Slack's early success was via taking the time to do things properly, now there is not even time to do things half-assed. It really shows when you use the product or try to have meaningful discussions with severely burned-out teammates.

Slack Response

Thank you for sharing your experience working at Slack. We are always striving to create a great environment for our employees so we appreciate this feedback. If you have not already, we'd encourage you to speak with your manager and your department's people partner to discuss some of these matters with them further. -Slack
