Best place I've worked at

Pros

- The culture at Slack is very inclusive. I've had imposter syndrome everywhere else I've worked. This is the first place that gives me a sense of belonging - Leadership trusts you with important work, and lets you drive it to completion. I've been doing the best work of my career here so far

Cons

- Since its a growing company, there is a lot of work to be done. This gets overwhelming at times, but is completely rewarding.

Pros

Incredible onboarding during the pandemic. Extraordinary collaboration across business units. Forward thinking technology that has a massive vision to grow. A vision for changing the way that people work and returning efficiency to businesses.

Cons

Challenges of moving beyond customers in the tech sector and getting in the door to convey the value to business leaders vs. IT tools selection.

Pros

Overall, Slack has a good set of co-workers within Engineering. The product is decent, and contributes to helping people get work done as opposed to just making money off of ads.

Cons

There is no company direction. The product is stagnant, and the focus is primarily on getting more users as opposed to making a better product. No one, either in engineering or product management, can make a long term roadmap. We move from the crisis of today to the crisis of tomorrow. We constantly spread ourselves too thin.
