Pros

Slack is such a great place to work because of the people all at levels. We're really a team that values collaboration, teamwork, and hardwork. Slack also has seven Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to help in building community, engagement, and belonging which I really appreciate. In terms of career growth, there are opportunities to learn and try new things, and our leaders embrace space to take risks and think outside the box.

Cons

I've seen Slack grow a lot these last two years - building more scalable processes is an area of improvement, although different teams are working on this currently.

Pros

• Heavy Slack and light meeting culture - we use the product to keep team members abreast of key updates and coordinate everything quickly. It's really difficult to see myself working without using Slack so extensively. This product truly drives alignment. • My colleagues strongly exemplify company values: Smart, Humble, Collaborative and Hardworking. The team is full of folks who are both action oriented and highly empathetic and nurturing. • Transparency: All Hands meetings are thoughtfully designed to provide clarity on company objectives. • Work/Life Balance: We are encouraged to take time off thoughtfully and prioritize health and safety during this time of crisis.

Cons

• Typical growing pains...how do we best drive the company forward
