      Uncertain Future for Slack

      Enterprise account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      **Best benefits of my entire career (10+ former employers) **Employee Stock Purchase Plan **$100 monthly wellness stipend **6 month baby benefit (full pay for either parent) **Executive access at customer accounts **Billions spent annually on marketing, customer events, etc.

      Cons

      **Owned by Salesforce **Salesforce has 70 Skus - very noisy, customers worn out from constant selling **4 days a week in office (non-negotiable unless outside of major metro area) **Salesforce customers reluctant to migrate to Slack, SFDC sellers also reluctant to pitch it, include it in their deals (this could change in time) **Slack leadership has left the building (+ Bret Taylor who drove Slack acquisition)

      No respect for marketing, performative allyship

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart people, lots of ways to connect with people on a personal level through social channels

      Cons

      Product has no respect for marketing and makes no pretense of hiding it. They have a history of talking down on the team and taking away marketing projects because they think they would do a better job. As a result, it’s extremely hard for anyone on marketing to progress their career because they get such little visibility and respect. The company also claims to support inclusivity but doesn’t actually do it. Most senior leaders are white, and in the past few months, many POC leaders left citing lack of support as an issue. They have been replaced by White people, significantly tipping the diversity scales. HR won’t address this and everyone is expected to act like nothing has changed.
