Pros

The culture at Slack is unreal. I've never been with a company that treats their employees with this much respect & admiration. They truly care. Truly. I pinch myself every day with how lucky & blessed I am to work for a company like Slack. Stewart is such an amazing servant leader. I respect him & his dedication to the wellbeing of his employees & the health of this company. I really enjoy being apart of the Sales & CS team. They are very supportive & encourage opportunities to lead within the team & through different company initiatives & programs. There are vast opportunities to explore different & parallel career paths within the company. The D&I program is also one of the best I've been apart of. I am inspired every day by my fellow colleagues.

Cons

Slack operates within a "start-up" atmosphere at times and there are growing pains that are very understandable. There are opportunities now that management is taking to improve their D&I hiring & promoting initiatives from folks entering Slack as an intern all the way to C-level executives. I am happy to report that due to Slack's open & collaborative culture, I admire their honesty with any of the growing pains that come along & Slack's invested interest to constantly improve, grow & evolve.

Pros

Culture encourages people to naturally be themselves, it stopped being classified as work for me a long time ago and more of a place my brain goes to think about people collaborate. Work life balance is not just talked about but demonstrated here. Work hard and go home was painted on the wall of my office and it's respected and adhered to. I had a life event and my manager simply said, "go and do what you need to do, your family comes first".

Cons

It is a big responsibility to handle the collaboration of the size of customers we have, it is not necessary a negative but something to remember from time to time.
