Pros

I started at Slack remotely during Covid-19 which has been a very difficult time for everyone. With everything going on in the world I was very nervous about leaving the comforts of my old company where I had a long close relationships with my colleagues and trying to ramp and learn everything to be successful alone from my home virtually. Thank goodness I trusted my recruiter and new manager and took the leap. Since starting at Slack I have been in awe of the thoughtfulness, compassionate support, transparency, and authentic leadership at Slack. The culture makes me want to work harder and definitely makes me see a long future at Slack.

Cons

Being a rapidly growing company there are a lot of new projects and processes to learn all while I've been trying to learn the original processes while remotely onboarding. Thankfully due to Slack using Slack to its fullest ability as a "Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge" I always have the ability to find the answers to all of my questions as things evolve and change.

We’re so happy to hear that you have found our culture and leadership inspiring and supportive, especially given that your onboarding experience has been entirely remote. We understand that we are living in challenging times and the health and wellbeing of our employees is very important to us. We are so glad you see yourself at Slack for a long time--we’re thrilled to have you.

Sell for Slack :heart-eyes:

Pros

Slack is an amazing company to work for and specifically sell for. I always tell people it’s a dream product to sell as a sales person. I’ve never sold a product that people love so much or that really changes how a company operates. Sales leadership is incredibly supportive and the entire organization is willing to help close more deals. I’ve had our CEO, CFO, CTO all send emails or speak directly with my customers. I’ve never worked at a company where senior leadership is so willing to help. Work life balance is very important to the company and I feel very fulfilled selling for slack.

Cons

Competition is heating up which isn’t necessarily a con - it’s justifying our market. The ramp can be tricky for new people since it’s a complex enterprise sale.
